Harrogate Railway junior team looking for new sponsor

Friday, 12 June 2026 07:22

The Harrogate Railway U11 Raiders team.

A junior football team at Harrogate Railway FC is looking for a local business to sponsor its new kit ahead of next season.

The club's junior teams provide football coaching and playing opportunities for youngsters aged between five and 17, playing a key role in the local community.

The club's U11 Raiders side, which will become the U12 Raiders for the 2026/27 season, is seeking sponsorship support for new kit items.

The squad consists of 15 players and is supported by three dedicated coaches, with a range of sponsorship packages available for interested businesses.

Benefits for sponsors include having their logo displayed on team kit, featured in social media spotlight posts and promoted across Harrogate Railway's sites.

The team trains twice a week at Harrogate High School and plays weekly fixtures across North and West Yorkshire, offering sponsors visibility to a wide audience throughout the season.

One parent of a player said:

"My son loves being part of this team, they’re a fantastic group of lads who go out there every weekend working their socks off to play the game they love so much.

"The coaches dedicate so much of their own time to make all of this happen and as a parent, I’m so grateful for this.

"It would be great to find a local business to sponsor essential items of kit needed for the next season!"

Anyone interested in sponsoring the team or finding out more about the available packages is encouraged to contact Dave Geldart by email at davegeldart@hotmail.co.uk.
