A SOCCER academy has netted a sponsorship deal with the Cross Hills-based Airedale Group.
The chemical company has become the main sponsor of award-winning Soccer Hub.
Airedale Group chief executive officer, Chris Chadwick, said: “We’re always interested in causes and organisations that we think may benefit from our support and Soccer Hub falls directly in line with our strategy of investing in youth development, local businesses and sporting pursuits.
“Soccer Hub – which covers the Skipton, Keighley and South Craven areas – has a great philosophy to develop players at all ages and abilities to become the best they can be, whilst gaining self-confidence and making friends, which we’re proud to be supporting.”
Former professional footballer Jordan Armstrong, who founded the academy, thanked the group for its support. He said the sponsorship would provide more equipment to enhance the Soccer Hub experience for all footballers across the age groups, from the academy’s 18-month-old ‘tots’ to 14-year-olds, and fund new match-day kits and accessories for elite players.
