Worcester Wolves announce new sponsor

The University of Worcester has been the home-court for Worcester Wolves for 12 years. In this time the partnership has brought mutual opportunities to both the University and the Club, which has included attracting talented international student/athletes and launching a unique Masters degree in European Basketball Coaching Science at the University.

Worcester Wolves Chairman, Roger Clarke, said: “The Wolves has enjoyed a fantastic partnership with the University since its formation and we continue to break new ground with study and play opportunities. We are delighted to be associated with the University and are proud to have them as our main sponsors.”
