Ex Hull City and Fulham footballer signs for Armstead Trade

Armstead Trade has made its move in the summer transfer window by signing up former footballer and ex decorator Jimmy Bullard for a competition that will see one decorating firm win his services on a one-day loan deal.

Bullard, who also appeared on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, was a decorator at his father’s decorating firm for three years before becoming a professional footballer.

He went onto play for a host of clubs, including Wigan Athletic, Fulham and Hull City in the Premier League.

Now decorating teams have the chance to sign Bullard for a day by tweeting the job that they would give him and reasons why their firm would be the right move. They can enter via Twitter using the hashtag #SignJimmy or via www.armsteadtrade.co.uk.

Bullard said: “I’m looking forward to picking up a paint brush again and getting involved in a decorating firm. I’ve still got the perfect finish when it comes to doing a quality painting job and hopefully whichever team I join, they’ll be game for a kickabout during our tea breaks.”

The competiton closes midnight on 13th August.
