Stuart Dick, Media Manager:

“Blyth Spartans has been a breeding ground for sports media professionals over the last six or seven years, with an unrivalled number of our volunteers using the experience they have earned here to gain employment in the field.

“All of the above, and many more, put countless hours of volunteer time into this club which we are ever grateful for and have been rewarded for their excellent service.”

Senior Press Officer
Junior Press Oficer
Videographer
Pitchside Videographer

Although the roles are voluntary, the club will pay expenses, and any sponsorship brought in by the media team will contribute to the media fund at the club. If you are interested in any of the roles available please contact Media Manager Stuart Dick via email, stuart@sdjournalism.co.uk
