The club is delighted to announce that current sponsors Orchard Timber Products have renewed their support by signing a one-year extension to their initial agreement.

Both club and sponsor have agreed on a one-year rolling contract, which brings some stability for the Loons as they look to next season with renewed vigour and hope.

Club chairman Neill Wilson said: "We are absolutely delighted to be continuing our relationship with Orchard Timber Products.

"This is especially at a time when we require all the backing we can get.

"We thank Orchard Timber Products for their continued support, which, in turn, gives the club added confidence for next season."

Since initially signing-up to sponsor the club two seasons ago, Orchard Timber Products have continually grown as a business, dealing in sheet materials, doors, windows, floors and general building supplies.

From being a local enterprise the company can now boast a second site, based in Livingston, taking their overall staff numbers to 32.

Managing director, Scott McKinlay said: "Although the last two seasons have been disappointing on the field, as a company steeped in the local community we are looking to remain loyal to the local club in this difficult time.

"By renewing our good relationship with Forfar Athletic Football Club we hope to see a more successful season ahead."
