THE Fuse SPORT marketing agency has made four new footballing signings.

West Ham United and Australia defender Lucas Neill, Bolton Wanderers and Iceland keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and Manchester City and England under-21 duo Nedum Onuoha (pictured) and Michael Johnson have joined the specialist sports consultancy.

Fuse SPORT will be promoting the players across a range of media platforms and facilitating associations with a number of commercial brands.

The agency is in discussions with a variety of brand and media owners who are interested in capitalising upon the footballers' excellent sporting credentials.

Ben Haworth, a director with the Manchester agency, said: "We're thrilled to be associated with such an impressive array of players.

"It's great to be working with international footballers like Lucas and Jussi who are at the top of their game, as well as new stars like Nedum and Michael who have amazing futures ahead of them.

"We're already speaking with a number of brands with a view to setting up some really exciting sponsorship link-ups."

The new signings complement Fuse SPORT's impressive line-up of big-name sporting figures which includes England stars Paul Robinson and David Bentley, as well as world champion boxer Ricky Hatton.

Lucas Neill commented: "With all their experience and knowledge of the football world, the Fuse SPORT team are in a prime position to help players like me maximise their potential. I'm really looking forward to working with them."

Nedum Onuoha added: "I'm hoping for a great season on the pitch with City this year, and I'm hoping for similar success off the pitch with Fuse SPORT. It's important for me to be connected with a marketing agency which is totally focused on sport, and Fuse fits the bill." Tweet
