ENGLAND cricket star Ben Stokes has signed a sporting memorabilia partnership with Worcester-based company Firma Stella.

Stokes joins a number of players who have partnered up with the company that sells authentic, signed sporting memorabilia all around the world.

CEO Peter Johnson said: "We are thrilled to announce the signing of England cricket icon Ben Stokes to its' roster of world class sports stars.

"Stokes autographed an exclusive collection of merchandise and it's now available for sale on our website including hand-signed cricket bats, balls and shirts."

The news comes on the same day that Stokes confirmed he would be playing in this winter's Ashes series down under in Australia.

Firma Stella's experienced staff travel around the world to obtain exclusive sports star autographs on a variety of items, obtaining photographic proof whenever possible in order to set themselves apart from other companies.

They also buy in collections from trusted sources but only when they can establish full and complete provenance.

Every item of autographed sports memorabilia, whether it’s a signed photo, football or jersey comes with a genuine Certificate of Authenticity and Free UK delivery.

They offer fast worldwide shipping in 1-7 days with next day delivery to Europe.
