SnickersUK.com will become the first-ever sleeve sponsor for the women's team.

The deal will see SnickersUK.com branding appear on the left arm of both the women’s first-team’s home and away shirts, and is set to be worn for the first time in Sunday’s Barclays FA Women’s Super League match against Arsenal.

Albion’s head of commercial, Russell Wood, said, “It is great news that we have extended our current partnership with SnickersUK.com, and agreed this exciting new sponsorship opportunity.

“They are a fantastic company and have enjoyed plenty of success recently. We are delighted that they have seen the chance to raise their profile within the women’s game.

“We have benefitted from the quality of their products first hand, and are very proud of our partnership.”

SnickersUK.com’s managing director, Chris Ruff, added, “This is excellent news. We are very proud to become the first sleeve sponsor for the women’s team.

“We have been very impressed by the progress which Hope Powell’s team has made, and cannot wait to see the shirts in all their glory for the first time on Sunday!”

“It shows that the team’s commercial viability is continuing to grow, and I would like to thank Chris and his team at SnickersUK.com for their ongoing support for the women’s team and across the club.

“I am now looking forward to seeing the players wearing the sleeve sponsors for the first time on Sunday when we face Arsenal at The People’s Pension Stadium.”
