Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club have signed a one year shirt sponsorship deal with Milton Keynes VAR Silverbug.
As part of a “significant six-figure cash deal”, said Wolves, Silverbug’s brand will appear on the 2015/16 home and away shirts and on all technical training kit.
Silverbug, whose managing director Owen Daley is a lifelong Wolves fan, has already offered to change the company’s brand colour of red to black on the gold home shirts.

The Wolves/Silverbug association goes back 15 years, when Wolves became one of Silverbug’s first clients. Since then the two organisations have had a successful working relationship, with Silverbug being a key part of major IT infrastructure projects, such as the £22 million Stan Cullis Stand redevelopment, £8 million Academy development at Compton Park, as well as providing 24/7 IT helpdesk support for the whole business.
Jez Moxey, Wolves chief executive, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Silverbug on board as the main club sponsor for the 2015/16 season. We have a 15 year-strong association with Silverbug, whilst their managing director Owen Daley has been a Wolves supporter since he was a youngster.
“Silverbug have been a crucial business partner for Wolves for well over a decade. They have played a key role in helping us deliver our club plans and have ensured we stay at the very forefront of IT developments, benefiting the club and supporters.”
Daley said: “Having been involved with the Club behind the scenes for 15 years, I personally know the Wolves family very well and so when the opportunity came up I grabbed it with both hands.”
