After signing a two-year deal in July to serve as the shirt sponsor for British Championship soccer side Swansea City, online casino 32Red.com has awarded one lucky fan with his very own spot on the team.

Swansea City fan Ross Mitchell entered a recent competition on the football club’s website and was rewarded with the honour of being named as the team’s official number 32.

A fan of blackjack, Mitchell will now feature in official club photos and has been included in the official match day programme line-up.

“Most fans have dreamed of seeing their name in the matchday programme and, given my lack of footballing ability, this is the only way I could have got to do it,” said Mitchell.

“The entire competition is a terrific idea and I hope others get a chance to experience what I have. Thank you Swansea City and thank you 32Red.com.”

He was awarded his official jersey by Paulo Souza, Manager for Swansea City and a former Portuguese international, before the team’s home match against Sheffield United on September 26.

“This is the first of a number of initiatives we will be working on with our new sponsor 32Red.com this season,” said Leigh Dineen, Vice-Chairman for Swansea City.

“It has given us fantastic support so far and I know that they want to involve the fans as much as possible. We have a whole lot more planned this season and next, so check back often to see what you could win. We’ll also keep you posted on Ross’ time with the club.”
