ST KILDA has announced Dare Iced Coffee as the club's new principal sponsor for the next two years.

“We are immensely pleased to announce this partnership with Dare Iced Coffee which, like the Saints, is focused on growth, excitement and success,” Saints chief executive Matt Finnis told saints.com.au.

Lion Dairy and Drinks, the manufacturer of Dare, also has the option of a third year on the deal, and replaces LEDified, which will remain a sponsor of the club.

It has been a whirlwind period for the Saints, who in the last year have appointed a new coach and senior management team, claimed the wooden spoon and selected Paddy McCartin with the first pick at last year's NAB AFL National Draft, brought former skipper Danny Frawley back to the club as a specialist coach and named cricket identity Jamie Cox as the new general manager of football.

The future of the club's training and administrative base at Seaford remains unclear, with the hoped-for Junction Oval move now clouded in uncertainty.
