Housebuilder Gleeson Homes has been named as the the front of shirt sponsor for Barnsley Football Club’s 2024/25 season.

The collaboration with the League One football club is indicative of the investment Gleeson is putting into supporting growth and development in the area. The housebuilder currently has five developments across the local area, consisting of 626 plots.

As part of the partnership, the Gleeson Homes logo will be prominently displayed on both the home and away shirts for the upcoming season. From Monday 29th July, Gleeson Homes will be giving Reds fans the option to add their logo to any 24/25 Home or Away shirt purchased from the Reds Superstore, applicable also to online orders when brought in-store.

The new front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with Gleeson Homes builds on the partnership that Gleeson Yorkshire South and West currently have with Barnsley FC, which involves sponsorship of the pitch side advertising.

Mark Knight, chief executive at Gleeson Homes, said: “This strategic collaboration further enables us to continue to support and invest in our local communities. This is a key component of our mission to provide affordable homes where they are needed most and we are thrilled to be able to continue to have a positive influence in the local Barnsley area through this partnership and investment.”

Jon Flatman, CEO at Barnsley Football Club, added: “Our commitment to being a responsible stakeholder within our fantastic community is a key factor to bringing Gleeson in as a key partner for the club with their desire to have a positive impact in the Barnsley borough. We are excited to continue our work with Gleeson over the coming year and thank them for their immense support.”
