Derby County Women’s shirt sponsors for the upcoming 2025/26 season have been confirmed.
Sam Griffiths’ side will once again compete in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division during the campaign, as well as the FA Women’s National League Cup and Adobe Women’s FA Cup.
The Women’s first-team shirts will once again proudly display the logo of the University of Derby on the front for the second year in succession.
Derby County and the University of Derby have enjoyed a close working partnership for over ten years, closely collaborating on a variety of projects and campaigns for the benefit of both parties.
This includes offering experience at the club through the University’s BA (Hons) Sports Management programme and BA (Hons) Football Journalism course.
Another of the projects was launched in 2018, with talented young women footballers being offered the chance to earn a unique scholarship to study football journalism at the University, with students’ tuition fees covered, and potentially play for the Ewes.
In addition, Derby County Community Trust are continuing to work alongside the University of Derby to enhance its Elite Player Pathway for female players aged between 16-21, allowing players the opportunity to stay with the club for a five-year period and be in full-time education alongside a full-time football programme, with the Female Talent Pathway feeding directly into the senior team.
Upon completing their college work, players can study a full-time degree programme at the University of Derby in the following subjects: Sport Coaching & Development, Sport Management or Sport and Education.
It was announced earlier this summer that HSG UK will continue to sponsor the back of the Women’s shirts and shorts for the campaign, also for the second season in a row.
Pride Park-based HSG UK is an award-winning family company whose unique portfolio of award-winning and industry-leading products, coupled with unmatched and installation, has helped forge a formidable reputation over two decades for providing washroom services and specialist advice.
Their reliability and quality in the washroom and water saving industry has established the company as experts in their field, recognised by HSG UK receiving the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in May 2024, while they were also winners at last year’s Family Business Awards and the East Midlands Chamber Business Awards.
TLF Utilities will be the Ewes’ sleeve sponsor for the season as a new partner.
TLF Utilities provides two primary services; utility and telegraph pole replacement and installation and they also have an overhead and underground cabling division.
All these services require staff to be professional, prompt and fully always trained for all types of overhead and underground services. This is especially important as they offer an around the clock service. They provide all staff and team members with training facilities at their base in Ilkeston.
TLF Utilities are STA coded to receive BT/Openreach stores and are the oldest poling contractor in England. They also work with Morrison's on the Openreach network, installing and renewing telegraph poles.
Derby County’s Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Pearce, said: "We are delighted to confirm the University of Derby, HSG UK and TLF Utilities as Derby County Women’s shirt sponsors for the 2025/26 season.
"It is really pleasing for us to see three local businesses backing the continued growth of the Women’s game both at Derby County and across the country."
Derby County Women will wear the club’s home and away kits in the 2025/26 season and the logos of the University of Derby, HSG UK and TLF Utilities will appear on these for each competitive fixture.
