HUDDERSFIELD Town has teamed up with insurance broker Wilbys Ltd.

The Halifax-based company, which already sponsors the back of Town’s home shirt this season, has increased its commitment to the club by offering car and household contents insurance packages to supporters.

For every policy taken out, Wilbys will make a donation to the club’s academy.

Graham said he was delighted by Wilby’s commitment to the club, adding: “I think it is a sign of the progress the academy is making that more companies want to be associated with us.

“Town supporters will save money on their insurance deals through this new relationship while earning funds for the academy, so it’s a fantastic opportunity for everyone involved.”

Mr Blackburn said: “We are a local company and massive supporters of the club, so to know that in some way we can contribute to produce the next Alex Smithies or Michael Collins means a lot to us.

“While the donation to the club varies on the type of insurance taken out by the supporters, the investment made by us is sizeable and will play a key role in enabling the great work carried out by Graham and his team not only to continue but develop further.”
