Leyton Orient unveil surprising sponsor for next season... Harry Kane! England striker pays for three causes - including a thank you message to frontline workers - to appear on shirts of club that gave him his first professional start in 2011

Harry Kane will sponsor Leyton Orient’s shirts next season in a stunning act of generosity.

The big-hearted move will see three causes supported on each of his former club’s jerseys in the coming campaign.

England captain Kane, 26, obtained approval from the Premier League, EFL and Football Association, before embarking on his generous gesture.

As a result of the deal, a message thanking the frontline heroes in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic will be on the League Two club’s home shirts, while the Haven House Children’s Hospice will be on the away jersey and Mind, the mental health charity, will appear on the third kit.
