Sheffield United shirt sponsor threatens to quit over Ched Evans uproar

DBL Logistics say that they will quit as a major sponsor of League One outfit Sheffield United should they re-sign convicted rapist Ched Evans.

Sheffield United's shirt sponsors, DBL Logistics, has said that it will end its association with the club should convicted rapist Ched Evans be re-signed.

It was confirmed earlier this week that the 25-year-old, who was released from prison last month after serving half of his prison sentence, will return to training with the Blades in order to regain his fitness.

However, three patrons of the League one outfit have already stood down over the decision to allow Evans to partially return, while a major sponsor says that it will do likewise should he be appointed full time.

A company statement read: "DBL Logistics would end its back-of-shirt sponsorship with Sheffield United if the club employed a convicted rapist.

"However, whilst the current situation remains and Ched Evans is not contracted to Sheffield United, DBL Logistics will continue its business-to-business relationship with the club."

John Holland Sales, which sponsors the front of players' shirts, will "re-evaluate" its position if Evans rejoins the club.
