St Helens have announced that they will be renaming Knowsley Road as the GPW Recruitment Stadium.

The club sold the naming rights to the stadium, which has been the club's home since 1890, in a sponsorship deal which runs until the end of the 2010 season.

Saints' chief executive Tony Colquitt said: "GPW have been long time supporters of the Saints.

"We're sure this partnership will have benefits for both organisations to go from strength to strength."

The club's plans to build an 18,000-capacity stadium on a derelict 46-acre site on the edge of the town centre have been submitted to the local council.

Subject to gaining the necessary permissions, work is scheduled to begin on building the stadium this year with the first game set to be played there in 2010.
