Football fans will now be able to spot David Wilson’s branding on Whitehill Welfare FC’s kit, as well as on pitch-side banners at the team’s home ground of Ferguson Park in Rosewell.

The partnership with the team, which plays in the East of Scotland First Division, forms part of the housebuilders commitment to support causes and organisations within the communities it builds. David Wilson’s local development of Rosewell Meadow offers a range of four-bed, high-quality family homes on the outskirts of the picturesque village.

Mark Calder, of Whitehill Welfare FC, said: “Whitehill Welfare FC is delighted to welcome David Wilson Homes to Rosewell. As a club we are proud to partner with such a large company and are excited to display their logo on our kit over the next few seasons.

“The sponsorship is invaluable to clubs like ours, and the support from David Wilson Homes has allowed us to invest in new training kit and equipment for our playing squad.”

Anne Ross, sales director at Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes East Scotland, added: “We’re always looking at ways in which we can support the areas in which we build, and are proud to now be sponsoring Whitehill Welfare FC.

“Members of the Rosewell community will now be able to spot David Wilson’s branding at Ferguson Park and on the team’s kit. We’re looking forward to supporting this partnership and wish the team all the best for the season ahead.”

The former mining village in Midlothian is just seven miles from Edinburgh’s city centre, with Edinburgh City Bypass nearby for commuters. Closer to home, the development is near a number of well-regarded schools and has a range of family-friendly activities on its doorstep, including Roslin Glen Country Park, the National Mining Museum in Newtongrange and Fort Douglas within Dalkeith Country Park.

With homes at Rosewell Meadow starting at £414,995, the housebuilder is currently offering buyers 5% towards their deposit or mortgage; or a guaranteed buyer with their Part Exchange service. All homes currently for sale include a host of extras and flooring.
