Local Supply Chain are a significant NEW sponsor for 2024. We would like to thank Daniel and Richard for their support which will help so many newcomers to enjoy and develop in our new second team.

Brook Miller have come on board with the wheelchair team as well as the ‘ Running ‘ team for 2024. We wish to thank Adrian at Brook Miller for his support.

Super League have announced a unified brand refresh that brings together Men’s, Women’s and Wheelchair Super League.

The refresh has been designed by marketing agency 160/90 who are part of the Endeavor network that includes Rugby League’s long-term strategic partner IMG. As part of that refresh, all three elite competitions now share the one Betfred Super League logo, with the specific Women’s and Wheelchair logos no longer being used from this season onwards.

Further information including a launch video showcasing the league-wide brand refresh is available HERE.

Malcolm Kielty MBE, Club founder and Treasurer looks ahead to the new season.

As a new season dawns, and so does further development in both the game itself and at the Panthers.

This season sees the Panthers enter a reserves side which, will play the same day either before or after the Super league fixtures. This is a new approach from the NGB.

There will also be NO dual registrations as it was felt this was not allowing true growth.

Our teams will play their home games at the Sedbergh Leisure Centre Low Moor Bradford between 12 noon to 5pm.

So physical support can be given to at least one of the teams if a fixture clashes with a 1^st team game at the Shay.

We hope to live stream all our home games ( TBC ) 

The teams have never received as much sponsorship as of this year, and will play once again in the 1^st teams replica kit, with their own sponsors Logo.

However we have to thank Adrian of Brook Miller especially  for sponsoring us as well as the 1^st team, and Andrew of ACL Industrial Flooring for his 2^nd year and expanding the value of his business’s sponsorship.

We hope to be competitive in both competitions of course and aim to regain the Super League championship trophy , “
