Ben Simpson – Wheelchair Rugby League
My name is Ben Simpson. I play for Sheffield Eagles wheelchair rugby league team. Currently myself and teammates are facing a severe handicap of inadequate chairs compared to our opposition. After being promoted to super league last season and facing established teams with state of the art equipment we have realised in order to compete we are all in need of better wheelchairs. A point made by commentators on several occasions this year.
Key Dates and Timings
Super league seasons run through every summer and sponsorship will run for as long as the chair is used 5+years.
Specific Opportunity Details
Funding for new/ nearly new sports wheelchair suitable for rugby league to use in super league and challenge cup competitions. In return gain exposure through Sheffield Eagles main social media channels and through betfred super league’s posts advertising our matches finally through the potential for final appearances on sky sports.
Features and Benefits
Featuring as my sponsor on teamsheets and online teamsheets and other posts featuring myself on eagles channels, free entry to all
sheffield wheelchair matches and my match shirt at the end of each season.
