Sponsor your favourite player!

New for the 2021/22 season, the club is introducing a player sponsorship package specially for our growing number of younger supporters.

The Junior/Youth Sponsorship package allows anyone 16 years old or younger to sponsor any player in the senior Hartley Wintney squad (First Team or U23 Development side) for just £15 for the season.

The young sponsor will have their picture taken with their chosen player (parental permission will be required as the photo will appear in the programme, and within the digital version of the programme on the club website). The digital copy of the image will also be provided, allowing the photo to be printed by the sponsor if they wish; we ’re imagining a few posters on bedroom walls!

A player can have more than one junior/youth sponsor, but each sponsor will get an individual photo taken of them with their player.

UP THE ROW!

All player sponsors will also have their own banner on the club website for the duration of the season.

For more information or to register your sponsorship, contact Kevin at [email protected].
