We’re extremely pleased to announce Steph Eadon will be jointly sponsored by her two biggest supporters - her son Josh and in memory of her late father Phil who was, until his death in 2015, her biggest supporter. Steph’s mum, Anne, said “Unfortunately I can’t get to matches but I do follow the score updates on the matches. I know just how important this money is to grassroots clubs and hope you get a good response”.

Steph joined Pride Park earlier this season after period out of the game, making her debut in the game at Castle Donington in November. The former Newcastle United player can play as a striker or in midfield, but an injury in the DCFA Plate quarter-final has curtailed appearances since then. However, she has shown she can also turn her hand to goalkeeping, proving to be a very competent emergency back-up in the game against Borrowash.

Steph is proving to be a real asset - not only as a player with her on-the-ball quality, but also with the experience she brings to the squad.

Trying to think of a last minute Mother’s day gift? Why not sponsor Mum’s favourite player?! For details see our sponsorship section
