The 25-year-old Commonwealth gold medal winner is a two-time European Champion and former World Junior Champion who last year set a new British scoring record with 147/150. His previous high was scoring 146/150 in 2007, equal to the then record.

Joint managing director of M Partners Murray Lock said: "Steve has enjoyed life at the top of his chosen discipline for the past decade. It would be really exciting for him to be able to take gold at this summer’s Olympics, and M Partners will be right behind him."

Hackbridge, Surrey-based M Partners has sponsored Scott for seven years, supporting him when he competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which took place in New Delhi.
