Portsmouth fan Rob Phillips wins short-term contract with club

Portsmouth fan Rob Phillips trains with the club's first team after winning a short-term contract with the League Two side.

A Portsmouth fan has signed a short-term contract with the club after winning Papa John's Sign For Your Club competition.

Rob Phillips, who celebrated his 44th birthday last weekend, will train with the League Two side today, and will also receive home tickets for the rest of the season and free pizza for a year.

After penning the deal, Phillips said: "It's amazing to have signed for the club that I have supported since I was a boy.

"The lads have treated me well and it's an honour that I'm now an official member of the squad. I chose squad number 44 as it was my 44th birthday on Saturday, I couldn't have wished for a better birthday present!"

Papa John's also made a £20,000 donation to Portsmouth as part of the prize.
