Wakefield AFC

🥅 | PRE-SEASON UPDATE

With England's potential fixtures in the later stages and other teams plans changing, we have updated a few friendly fixtures

Lots of good tests to get minutes back in the legs and building up understanding prior to the season starting

🤝 | RIGHT SLEEVE

The new kits are ready to go ahead of the friendlies and you can order yours via Macron Sports Hub Wakefield, so we wanted to thank the next sponsor who has once again committed for 26/27

✍️ Cantidad Limited will proudly sit on the right sleeve of all 3 of this seasons kits, making the move from the rear of the shirt from 25/26.

We couldn't be prouder to once again have Cantidad on all our playing shirts for another season along with the other sponsors who continue to back us as we go again!

Here's what Rob Hubbard, Managing Director, Cantidad Limited had to say ⬇️

"Cantidad is proud to continue its support for Wakefield AFC as both a shirt and playing sponsor for the season ahead.

As a Wakefield-based business, we are delighted to back a club that brings people together, develops local talent and represents the city with real pride. We are looking forward to following the team’s progress throughout the season and wish everyone at the club every success."

Once again, for the 2026/27 season, we will be creating a 'media board' which will be used on all interviews at home and away games 💪

This was a huge hit last season with businesses being advertised every week at games and for other club interviews and announcements across social media posts and videos.

Due to the ordering process the closing date to be included is FRIDAY 10TH JULY, to allow time for it to be produced ahead of our first league game!!!

We have limited spaces available and for just £50, you can advertise your business for the full season!

Drop us a message to secure your spot on the for the 2026/27 season.

🤝 | PLAYER SPONSORSHIP

With the first of the retained players and arrivals being announced, we are now in a position to start looking for player sponsors for the 2026-2027 season

✅️ Meet the player and get photos at one of this seasons games

✅️ Social media announcement pre season to promote your brand and sponsorship, plus mid season too

✅️ Appear on graphics such as goals, interviews and listed in the programme and matchday lineups

✅️ Support the player and club to cover training kit costs

This is always popular amongst businesses, groups and individual fans, with some players already being sponsored, so get in touch to discuss options and player availability.

Our online presence at this level is like no other, as seen in previous post graphics!

We want to ensure every player, new and old, is kitted out, so we need your amazing support as always👏🏻

We can confirm another familiar face returning for the 26/27 season, Curtis Morrison!

Curtis made 22 appearances in a Wakefield shirt in the 24/25 season playing across the front 3 and also on the left side of defence to cover injuries and showing his flexibility to do a job for the team.

Known for his set piece delivery and goals with his left foot, Curtis is a direct winger and will cause lots of problems for defenders this season

Welcome back Curt 👊

Second player to be announced today is the return of Shay Evans-Booth.

Shay returns after a season away, having spent 25/26 playing at Maltby before moving on to Parkgate. Shay had a good season scoring double figures as a striker whilst also playing in goal for a number of his appearances, just like he did in his time with us previously.

Shay has also already been kindly sponsored by Climate Cool for this season 🤝

Welcome back Shay 👊
