ERA and Quanex Back New Northycote FC Girls Team with Kit Sponsorship

Northycote FC Girls - which has recently formed in a bid to boost sporting participation for local children in a safe and friendly environment – is being backed by ERA and Quanex, whose logos now adorn the team’s purple home kit. Northycote FC Girls is based in Wolverhampton and play as part of the Walsall Junior Youth League.

To mark the partnership, the team visited ERA’s state-of-the-art manufacturing, R&D, product development, testing, and training facilities at the i54 Business Park before their first league match as a team. ERA welcomed the players and staff to its headquarters with breakfast and a guided tour, where guests learned about the company’s history, its innovative products, and the people behind them.

Helen Downer, VP Commercial Excellence at Quanex, said: “We’re proud to support Northycote FC Girls, an exciting new team highlighting the increasing popularity of women’s football and how it is spreading love for the sport across age groups. It’s particularly great to see the ethos which the club runs on, putting teamwork, community and positivity at its centre.”

Mykal Whyton, Team Coach, at Northycote FC Girls, said: “Our aim is to keep providing local children with a safe, welcoming environment where they can learn, grow and play a sport they love. We’re delighted to have built a partnership with ERA and Quanex and look forward to a fun and busy season with their support.”
