BARNT Green Spartak have strengthened their links to the town after signing a three-year deal to play at Bromsgrove Rovers' Victoria Ground from next season.

The club's ground rental agreement is set to start in August 2006.

Currently Spartak play at Alvechurch's Lye Meadow ground, but their lease at the Midland Alliance club finishes at the end of the season.

Spartak managing director Tony Allen said: "We are riding high in our division and are aiming to win promotion to the Midland Alliance.

"Our game is based on a skilful attacking brand of football and playing on Rovers' excellent playing surface will be a major benefit to our ambitions."

Rovers have announced that its second string will quit the Midland Combination Reserve Division at the end of the season.

Rovers will concentrate on playing in the Central Conference League mid-week.
