She says this about the link-up: “Connect IT Utility Services have been a fantastic long-standing regional partner over the last eight years. We are delighted to be entering this next phase with them as they come on board with Southampton FC Women."

“This is an exciting time for the team and for women’s football, following their promotion to the Barclay’s Women’s Championship and we look forward to working together to grow the women’s game.”

Connect MD Peter Leech adds: “Connect IT are delighted to announce our partnership with Southampton FC for the 2022/23 season. In particular, this season we are very excited to now be a kit sponsor of the Women’s team."
