Merthyr Town FC Secures New Partner in Sponsorship Deal with Persimmon Homes
A three-season sponsorship deal has been agreed between Merthyr Town FC and Persimmon Homes.
The new agreement comes off the back of a successful 2024/25 season for the Martyrs, who secured promotion as champions of the Southern League Premier Division. The fan-owned club will now be looking to build on that momentum with the support of a prominent new partner.
The deal will see Persimmon's branding feature prominently on the terrace at Penydarren Park, and across a range of club activities over the course of three seasons, providing a vital boost to the club both on and off the pitch.
Persimmon East Wales' involvement comes on the back of its nearby Porth y Dyffryn development in Twynyrodyn.
Lee Hawker, Managing Director of Persimmon Homes East Wales, said:
'We're extremely proud to partner with Merthyr Town FC, especially at such an exciting time for the club. Their promotion is a huge achievement and reflects the spirit and determination that defines the local community.
'As a business building 121 high-quality homes for local families at our Porth y Dyffryn development in Twynyrodyn, we're committed to supporting the town's continued growth and success.
'This sponsorship reflects our long-term investment in Merthyr – not just in bricks and mortar, but in the people and places that make the town what it is.'
Matthew George, Merthyr Town FC, said:
'We are delighted to welcome Persimmon Homes as our new sponsor.
'Their commitment to a three-year partnership shows real faith in what we're building here, both on the pitch and in the community.
'After a brilliant season for everyone connected with Merthyr Town, this new relationship gives us even more to look forward to as we take our first steps in the National League North.'

South Ribble homes to be built on former factory site
A major housing development first mooted more than 15 years ago is finally set to get off the drawing than 270 homes will be built across the Penwortham Mills site near Preston, which was previously occupied by a factory belonging to the surgical lint manufacturer Vernon plot – part of which became home to a new Lidl store in February – has been eyed for a residential estate since the late 2000s, shortly after the firm proposals have been approved since then, but none has ever come to fruition, with the land having also changed hands on numerous occasions. In April, the site was acquired by the construction firm Persimmon Homes, which told a meeting of South Ribble Borough Council's planning committee it was eager to bring the blueprint to needed approval to tweak the design of the properties being built, to replace those approved under the most recent permission granted in 2022 to what was then the Trafford Housing Trust, later to become part of the L&Q Graham, senior land and planning manager for Persimmon in Lancashire, said the revised range for the first phase of the "stalled" estate reflected "the already approved arrangement as closely as possible".The council's planning manager, Catherine Thomas, told members there was "hardly any difference at all" in the overall shape of the initial phase. 'Affordable homes' The changes – which were approved without debate – relate to 49 of the homes within the first tranche of the development, for which full planning permission has already been will be made up of detached, semi-detached and terrace styles – and work on them is now expected to begin in the coming months.A similar revision will later be submitted for the remaining 68 properties within that second and third phases only have outline permission currently granted for them. This means applications for the details of house designs would have been required in future regardless of the change of ownership of the site – and Persimmon says they will come forward in due the firm is planning to build only 274 dwellings in all on Penwortham Mills – fewer than the up to 301 proposed in the application by Trafford Housing homes are already approved for a neighbouring site where the Sumpter Horse pub stood until its demolition in the Penwortham Mills plot, the Local Democracy Reporting Service understands 83 of the properties will be discounted "affordable homes".

Wayne Rooney not taking Macclesfield job
The former Manchester United and England star has been subject of interest from the National League North side as Robbie Savage edges towards taking the Forest Green post. Macclesfield this week made an approach to Rooney's agent Paul Stretford but, after careful consideration, the 39-year-old is not going to be making himself available for the job. United's all-time top scorer managed Derby, DC United and Birmingham after hanging up his boots, before taking charge of Plymouth for the first half of last season. Rooney is understood to be focused on media opportunities for the foreseeable future and Macclesfield were not considered the right move at the moment, despite admiration for the work being done there. The phoenix club were founded in October 2020 after Macclesfield Town were wound up, with chairman Robert Smethurst overseeing the side's rise through the leagues. The Silkmen started life in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division in 2021/22 and last season were promoted as Northern Premier League Premier Division champions under boss Savage.
