McCoist and Redknapp, who were involved in their share of big money moves throughout their careers, have joined forces to give supporters the chance for two lucky people to put pen to paper on a real-life pro contract with a ‘Sign for Your Club’ campaign.

All fans, regardless of age or gender, will be in with an opportunity to earn the contract as well as providing a massive £15,000 cash-injection for their beloved club - a prize that will be very welcome after what has been a challenging 18 months for football teams across the UK.

In addition to the prize, winning fans will get closer to their club than ever before, receiving an official squad number, attending a training session, and meeting the manager.

The opportunity from the brand has been launched as part of its title sponsorship of the EFL Trophy (now the Papa John’s Trophy) and partnership with the SPFL in Scotland.
