The numbers add up for Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles this season after the men in black get support in the stands from one of the region’s leading financial players.

The club’s blossoming sponsorship from Ryecroft Glenton has seen the North East-based accountancy firm become regular fixtures at the Vertu Motors Arena.

And a match made in hoops heaven reunites head coach Marc Steutel with a former team-mate!


“The fact that I’m an ex-basketball player makes this relationship even more special,” said Dan Cooper, Partner and Head of Outsourced | FD at Ryecroft Glenton.

“In our younger days Marc and I played together so it’s fantastic to be in a position to support the Eagles.

“As a firm, Ryecroft Glenton is delighted to be one of Newcastle’s sponsors for the 2023/24 season.


“They’re the league’s — and the North East’s — most successful club and that’s something we really admire.

“As a firm we’re focused on supporting our region and the work that the Eagles do, on and off the court, is worthy of that support.

“The journey they’ve been on over the years is outstanding.

“We’re looking forward to supporting the club at each game alongside our clients and professional friends.”
