Coutin, managing director of Gardx Protection Ltd, won the shirt sponsorship when his firm was drawn from 117 companies who entered the club's annual sponsors' draw at Nyewood Lane last night.

But in an act of benevolence, he has chosen to give the opportunity back to the club to help raise more money to boost the club's finances as they head into the new season.

Pearce says the recent Sussex Senior Cup final victory over Burgess Hill Town has given the club’s profile a boost and this can be shared with new potential backers.

Pearce, who will manage the first team along with coach Robbie Blake, said: "It's a fantastic gesture and one for which all of us at the club are extremely grateful to Victor and GardX. It means we will be able to auction the prize and thanks to Victor's generosity we can invite companies to get in touch if they are keen.
