One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has won a competition to design a shirt for his local football club.

The singer took part in Doncaster Rovers' search for new kits by coming up with his own design for next season's away top.

The designs went to a vote and 33.7% of the public backed the celebrity's effort, which involves black and grey colours.

Tomlinson commented: "I designed the kit with my granddad when I was home a few weeks ago.

"We used to go to Belle Vue together so it has always been a family affair with us and to now have a hand in next seasons away shirt is brilliant. I can’t wait to see my team wearing it."

In 2014 the singer failed in a takeover bid to run the club, despite initially getting the go-ahead.

He previously played for the team's reserve side to raise money for charity.
