We're thrilled to announce that we've extended our partnership with The Newcastle Jets for a further two seasons!
We first linked with the club in 2015 as Major Community Partner to assist the Jets to rejuvenate their approach to community engagement throughout the Hunter and wider Northern New South Wales regions.
Newcastle Jets’ Executive Chairman, Shane Mattiske, is also delighted that we're continuing our long-standing partnership that will support the club and football across the wider community.
“Greater Bank is one of the Jets’ longest standing partners and it is great to know that they are continuing to support the community through football and a connection to the club,” Mr Mattiske said.
“Greater Bank has real strength throughout the Hunter and Northern New South Wales, which aligns perfectly with our footprint and the club’s desire to strengthen and grow football throughout this region.
“Importantly, Greater Bank is a great partner for the Jets, with respect to their focus on engaging with, and giving back to, the broader football community.”
Shane Mattiske, Newcastle Jets’ Executive Chairman
