Hearts of Oak Corporate Affairs and Marketing manager Joe Addo has confirmed that the club are close to signing a sponsorship deal with Rush Energy drink.

"We are close in announcing a sponsorship deal with Rush Energy drink," the ex-international told Accra-based Happy FM.

"We have reached advance stages and going into next season’s league they will be on board as our sponsors."

The sponsorship with the energy drink company will be focused towards a player monthly reward being instituted by the club next season.

Hearts’ contract with SAS Securities has run and need a new sponsor for the upcoming campaign.

The Phobians refused to renew their sponsorship with telecommunication giants MTN five years ago.

Last Tuesday, new coach Kenichi Yatsuhshi helped them secure a non-cash sponsorship deal with Polar Electro, a sports training computer manufacturing firm.
