Umbro sidelines John Terry from ad campaigns

Terry is to face trial in July, accused of racially abusing QPR player Anton Ferdinand. He was stripped of the England captaincy by the Football Association last week.

The Chelsea defender was most recently used by Umbro last August, in a campaign to promote its latest England away kit.

An Umbro spokeswoman declined to "discuss future campaigns" but confirmed Terry "[will not] appear in our current campaigns".

She said: "We are constantly looking for footballing talent."

Terry has also appeared in activity for Samsung, Nationwide, video game 'Pro Evolution Soccer' and Swedish betting company Svenska Spel.

The latter has stated it no longer wishes to work with Terry.
