Portsmouth has agreed a contract with Jobsite, as its new Portsmouth shirt sponsor. In addition to the Portsmouth shirt sponsorship rights, the club’s Fratton End stand will now be known as the ‘Jobsite Stand’.
Portsmouth’s commercial director, Paul Bell, said: ‘Right from the beginning it was clear that Jobsite were serious about extending their name and brand to reach more customers.’

Online recruitment firm Jobsite, launched as a company in 2005, already they have one million plus CVs in their database. The chief executive officer of Jobsite, Keith Potts, described the company as ‘extremely proud’ to create a partnership with the club.
Portsmouth had been looking for a new sponsor since OKI Printing Solutions, their previous sponsor had run out towards the end of last season. Once OKI declared that they were uninterested in renewing the contract, Pompey began their search for a replacement.
There was some talk that Draper Tools were interested in clinching a deal with the club. However, they have a strong affiliation with the club’s rivals, Southampton Football Club. Almost certainly, Draper would have been badly viewed by Portsmouth fans, after they sponsored Southampton between 1984 and 1993.
‘We’ve been impressed by Jobsite’s attitude and approach to supporting the club and we look forward to building a close relationship with them.’ Said Portsmouth’s chief executive officer, Peter Storrie. It’s the biggest sponsorship agreement in the club’s history, overtaking the £4m deal with previous sponsors OKI.
Jobsite is set to feature on the Portsmouth shirt for the first time today, as a Portsmouth XI faces Basingstoke Town in a pre-season friendly.
