Volunteers at the football club where Kalvin Phillips began his career have launched an £80,000 appeal to pay for a new clubhouse.
Founded in 1974, Wortley FC is a community and family-based football club dedicated to the furtherance of youth and senior football. It wants to build a clubhouse on the top plateau of its grounds off Blue Hill Lane in order to become more financially sustainable through hosting teams with matchday hospitality and end-of-season presentations.
The club supports hundreds of young players every week.
On online crowdfunder has now been launched to help raise the £80,000 for new facilities. The crowdfunder states: “We currently have 20 teams playing in the Garforth League from under 7’s-under 18’s, plus two open age mens teams in the Yorkshire Amateur League.
“In recent years we have started to build a Girls section and have 3 Teams in the West Riding Girls Football league and also have younger girls training each week, as well as an Open Age Ladies Team in the West Riding County Women’s League.”
The crowdfunder can be found here.
WLD reported last week that councillors on the Outer West Community Committee had agreed a £10,000 grant to support the initiative.
