SYLVANS have agreed a pro link with Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club.

The link, which is being sponsored by Intertrust, will give Sylvans’ players and coaches the opportunity to receive coaching from the Championship team’s professional coaching staff.

‘We have worked hard to make this deal a reality,’ said Sylvans project manager Jason Le Ray.

‘It is a fantastic opportunity for us to benefit from the experience and expertise of the Brighton coaching team and is another step towards our vision of becoming the most respected club in the Channel Islands,’ Le Ray added.
