LKAB Minerals renews and expands partnership with Scunthorpe RUFC
United Kingdom, 9 July 2025: LKAB Minerals has reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to local sport by renewing and expanding its sponsorship agreement with Scunthorpe Rugby Union Football Club (SRUFC).
Under the new agreement, LKAB Minerals will continue as the official front-of-shirt sponsor for the Men’s and Colts (U18) teams, while extending its support to include the Women’s team for the first time. The extended partnership covers the next three seasons, taking LKAB Minerals’ valued relationship with the club to a total of thirteen years.
The renewed sponsorship takes immediate effect and will see the LKAB logo proudly displayed on all replica strips, as well as home and away kits worn during competitive fixtures.
Trisa Mahoney, newly appointed President of Scunthorpe RUFC, said:
“This long-standing relationship is more than just a sponsorship — it’s a statement. We’re incredibly proud that our men’s sponsor has not only continued their support of the club but extended it to our women’s team as well. It reflects a genuine commitment to equality, unity, and the shared values that define our club. We are one club, one community, and this support helps us grow stronger together, on and off the pitch. It’s a powerful message to our players, our supporters, and the next generation that every team in this club matters.”
Stephen Handscomb, Managing Director of LKAB Minerals UK, added:
“We have built a genuine and valued affinity with the club and its supporters since becoming front-of-shirt sponsor. We are proud to now extend that support to the women’s team, reflecting our shared commitment to inclusivity and supporting our local communities. By signing this three-year extension, we reaffirm our dedication to the club, and we hope this continued support is seen as a reflection of the strong partnership we’ve developed with Scunthorpe RUFC.”
