Scunthorpe United is delighted to confirm that stalwart central defender Will Evans has signed a new one-year contract extension with the club.

After originally joining the club three years ago, off the back of a National League play-off campaign with Boreham Wood, the 34-year-old has been a key figure for United in recent years and, after a consistent first season with the Iron, earned himself a well-deserved first contract extension that saw him extend his stay at the Attis Arena.

During the first year of his new deal, Evans would play a crucial part in Scunthorpe's promotion to the National League via the National League North play-offs, making 42 appearances in a United defensive unit that smashed both the club and divisional clean sheet records.

An experienced figure in the fifth tier with nearly 500 appearances under his belt at the level, Evans made yet another strong start to the season in the 2025-26 campaign, striking up a powerful partnership with fellow veteran defender Andrew Boyce that lasted until he picked up an injury in late October.

After a frustrating series of injuries that kept the towering defender sidelined for a number of months, Evans would return to aid the Iron's play-off hopes at the end of the campaign, making a combined total of 33 appearances across all competitions, a number he will be looking to surpass during the upcoming season.

The brick wall is locked in!

Scunthorpe United would like to pay tribute to HITEK Electronic Materials Limited as their three-year stint on the front of our shirts comes to an end.

Resonating with success on and off the field, HITEK has been one of the Iron’s principal partners over the last three years, seeing consecutive second place finishes in the National League North, culminating in a promotion at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, and impressive fifth place finish the the National League this season, where the Iron just missed out on the Promotion Final.

For 40 years, HITEK has been supplying proven specialist materials, including EMI shielding, bonding, and thermal management, to protect electrical systems. By working with leading manufacturers, HITEK supports the performance of critical systems in some of the most demanding environments.

HITEK’s vision is to be the global partner of choice in advanced electronic materials, delivering innovative, agile solutions and guided designs that safeguard performance in the most demanding Aerospace, Defence, and industrial applications.

Everyone at the club would like to thank Roger Dent and the team at HITEK Electronic Materials for their fantastic support, with the shirts worn over the last three seasons seeing some real highs and holding some incredible memories, none more so than promotion in our 125th anniversary kits with their branding prominently displayed across the front.

This isn't the end of Scunthorpe United and HITEK though, with further news to be released next month regarding the direction our valued partnership will head in.

Scunthorpe United is also excited to confirm a new front of shirt partnership for the 2026-27 season, which will be confirmed in mid-June ahead of the launch of our three brand new replica shirts for the forthcoming campaign.

A small MEYBA range is now available both in-store and online, with a limited selection of general items now on sale through our Technical Kit Partner.

The latest additions to the club store include sliders, snoods, beanies, water bottles and gloves, further expanding United’s growing MEYBA collection. The range also features replica and training wear from the 2025-26 season, which is on an end of season sale.

Scunthorpe United trio James Moody, Glyn Sparks and Jake Pullan are preparing to swap the Attis Arena for the trails this June as they take on the gruelling Peak District Challenge 2026; all in support of the incredible work carried out by Lindsey Lodge Hospice in collaboration with Lost Earth Adventures.

The challenge will see the three Iron employees and supporters push themselves through miles of demanding Peak District terrain, tackling steep climbs, rugged trails and long hours on foot in a true test of endurance, determination and teamwork. This challenge is set in the beautiful vicinity near Leek in the Peak District. It consists of a canoe across Tittesworth Reservoir, followed by an 100ft abseil, followed by a 22km hike.

But for James, Glyn and Jake, this challenge is about far more than crossing a finish line. Every step they take will help raise vital funds for Lindsey Lodge Hospice, a charity that provides compassionate care and support to local people and families facing life-limiting illnesses. The hospice has touched countless lives across North Lincolnshire, offering comfort, dignity and support when it matters most.

Inspired by the incredible work carried out by the hospice staff and volunteers every single day, and with first hand experience of what the hospice offers following care for their family members, the trio wanted to take on a challenge that would truly push them beyond their limits while giving something meaningful back to the local community.

Working alongside Lost Earth Adventures, the group will embark on one of the UK’s toughest endurance events, with months of preparation, training walks and fundraising already underway ahead of the June 2026 event.

The three fundraisers are hoping the Scunthorpe United community, local businesses and supporters across the region can rally behind them and help make a real difference for Lindsey Lodge Hospice.

Whether it’s through donations, sponsorship or simply sharing their journey, every bit of support will help the hospice continue delivering its vital services to families across the area. Each participant is tasked with raising at least £250 each ahead of the event, with a minimum target of £750 for the three taking part.

As the countdown to the Peak District Challenge begins, James, Glyn and Jake are ready to dig deep, represent the spirit of Scunthorpe United supporters and raise as much money as possible for a cause close to so many hearts.

Together, they hope to prove that with community spirit, determination and support, even the toughest climbs can be conquered.
