Once again, the Morley Glass Leeds Knights are partnering with the Weetwood Hall Estate, and it is through their invaluable support that Head Coach Ryan Aldridge was able to bring in highly experienced forward Matt Haywood to the 2022-23 roster.

Haywood joined the Leeds Knights early in the summer after a distinguished career north of the border with the Glasgow Clan in the EIHL. The partnership with Weetwood Hall allows Matt to be an integral part of the team and he has settled in well with his line mates.

Weetwood Hall Revenue Manager, Jo Crosier said:

It has been great to partner with the Leeds Knights and to support a local team.  As well as exposing our brand to the wider Leeds market through the player’s kit and advertising around the rink, we are delighted to support Matt with accommodation for himself and his young family for all home games.  In turn, many of our staff at the hotel have become avid supporters of the Knights, attending as many games as possible.

The 4-star Weetwood Hall Estate is set within acres of beautiful woodlands and gardens in the north of Leeds and the complex is built around a 17th Century Jacobean Manor House. Providing the very best in contemporary and unique guest experiences, exquisite dining and some of the finest conference facilities in Leeds, the hotel is steeped in rich history with parts of the beautiful property dating back as far as 1540.

Managing Director of the Leeds Knights, Warwick Andrews said:

Jo and the team at Weetwood Hall have been hugely committed to the Knights from day 1 and their support this year has allowed us to create improved benefits for both organisations. Also, given the great facilities at Weetwood Hall, we are working closely during this next month to host a ‘Sponsors Event’ in November – more information to come in the next few weeks.

The partnership with Weetwood Hall allows the Knights to go from strength to strength and we look forward to creating further opportunities to work together during the 2022-23 season.
