Two new signings at a football club are settling in well - but they are not who you would first expect.

Brislington FC were the first in the country to sign two artists to a voluntary residency at the club.

Ken Borg, a graphic designer, and Jonathan Kelham, an artist, go to the club once a week for free to design and create projects to enhance the area.

"It's a really beautiful and very engrossing project," Mr Kelham said. "Ken and I are both local residents, so helping out a club that has a lot of families and volunteers involved adds to the new history of it."

Mr Borg added: "Football at this level has a really tight budget, so we always thought we wanted to create the highest impact with the lowest possible budget.

"I'm proud of the area I live in, and if you support it, you want it to have character and have a unique feel about it; we want to enhance that."

The residency called Briz x Borg x Kelham celebrates the 70 years of the club and its connection with the local community.

During their stay, the pair are running projects like refurbishing the 150 capacity Colin Arnold Grandstand and creating content for social media from match days.

They met in 2022 at one of Mr Kelham's shows about a fictitious football team, then they began watching Brislington together.

This led to the design of some new flags for the club, which were well received by members and fans.

They said when they first approached the club, people questioned why they did it for free, but after the first project, they said it "was obvious everyone was on board and could appreciate the value".

Fast-forward to now, they are a year into their three seasons, preparing new designs for an anniversary kit, hosting events and improving the stadium.
