Asphalt production and highway maintenance product specialists, Jobling Purser, have enjoyed a
proud sponsorship association with Northern FC for over four years. In that time they have supported
both the club and with particular focus on the next generation of players, the Northern FC youth
teams. Jobling Purser Operations Director, Evan Jobling-Purser having played for the senior team,
now also actively encourages his children to get stuck in and they have all enjoyed playing rugby in
the club’s youth teams.
When recently discussing this ongoing relationship, Evan Jobling-Purser commented, “It’s a
privilege to be involved with such a great rugby club. Every aspect from the rugby on the pitch through
to the socialising in the bar afterwards is a friendly, enjoyable experience. We wish every success to
all the Northern FC teams for the rest of this season.”
“I’ve been involved with the club for
around seven years due to my son
playing and like to help out when I can.
My son, Jack started out in the minis
and is now playing for the U13s at inside
centre. They are having a great season
so far and hopefully they can push on in
the second half of the season.”

Our Terrace Bar (which now sells paninis, sandwiches
etc.) is well used by the local community with our monthly
food nights (curry night, pie night etc.) extremely popular.
Our squash section has a full membership and is gaining
national recognition for tournaments hosted at Northern and
has a strong youth section.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“One of the biggest challenges for us is to maintain
and increase the senior rugby playing membership in an
environment where many clubs are unable to field more
than one side. There is also the challenge to increase the
club’s revenue from off field activities in the clubhouse and
grounds.
Our ambitions are to consolidate the 1st team in a
competitive league whilst maintaining the amateur status
of the players, to field three senior teams plus a Colts team
each season and to try to progress mini-rugby players all the
way through to the Senior club. Off the pitch there are future
improvements planned for the clubhouse and grounds.”
