‘It’s also exciting to be promoting greater inclusivity with the Rainbow Rovers as we look to support the LGBTQ+ community in East Sussex and beyond.’

Andy Schofield, Whitehawk FC Chair, added: ‘This is a great way to launch our 75th anniversary season. I’d like to thank Utilita Energy for their commitment to our club during these difficult times. When we finally return to playing football, it will be great  to see the team take the field in the new shirt, which is a modern take on our original kit from 1945.’
