THE MARKETMEN TEAM UP WITH STATSPORTS

Needham Market are delighted to have partnered with STATSports as our GPS partners, kindly sponsored by Datum Group. https://datumgroupltd.com/

STATSports' technology is used by some of the biggest clubs in the world and will provide the players and management team with crucial data to enhance the team on and off the pitch. 

CEO Dave Clarke said, "Every sponsor involved with NMFC large or small are important. 

"With the game of football becoming ever more data driven, for a sponsor to firstly be aware of this and then commit to providing the appropriate funding for the football club is a tremendous gesture. Datum Group by financing the provision of the Statsport analysis kit have given first team manager Tom Rothery another helping hand in his and the teams efforts to regain step 2 status."

Manager Tom Rothery added, "Datum Group have been hugely supportive of me and my football since I began working for them. Rob was my captain at the first club I managed also so to still have his support 18 years later means a lot to me. What Rob, Lexy and Datum Group have done is enabled me to give the players and staff the best tools we can to try and be successful.

With Ben Mendrys coming to work with the first team also the partnership we now have with STATSports will be a great addition to support Ben, the staff and also enable the players to become the best version of themselves. I’d also like to thank Cameron Russell from STATSports who was excellent throughout. It’s another real positive for us at the football club and I’m really grateful to Rob, Lexy and Datum Group for their continued backing and support." 

Sponsors Datum Group said, "We’re delighted to be sponsoring Needham Market Football Club as they attempt their journey back to Step 2. At Datum Group, we understand the value of data, performance, and ambition — and that’s exactly what Needham embodies on and off the pitch.

"By funding the provision of STATSports GPS performance technology, we’re proud to be playing a part in the club’s development and drive for success. Supporting a progressive and community-focused team like Needham reflects our commitment to investing in potential and performance.

"A special thanks to First Team Manager Tom Rothery — it’s been a pleasure working with you. We’re excited to back the team in this new chapter and can’t wait to see what the 25/26 season holds."
