A Manx football team that'll compete in the English league this season has unveiled a goalkeeping kit to support two charities.

FC Isle of Man's new goalkeeper strip is designed to back Prostate Cancer UK and Mannin Cancers.

The club says the kit was inspired by Prostate Cancer UK's 'Man of Men' pin badge, worn by the UK's top-flight managers and football pundits.

You'll get your first chance to see the new team at the side's first ever match this weekend on August 15 against Guernsey FC at the Bowl in Douglas.
