Cambrian & Clydach Vale BGC

Cambrian & Clydach Vale Boys & Girls Club is a Welsh football club based in Clydach Vale in the Rhondda Cynon Taf valleys currently playing in the JD Cymru South league. Formed in 2001, the club have seen massive growth and have become arguably the biggest and best football club in the Rhondda Cynon Taf. Their academy are the only affiliated FAW academy in RCT and many players from the academy have gone on to sign professional contracts with various clubs throughout Wales and England.

I was approached by the chairman of Cambrian & Clydach Vale BGC to help the club with some much needed design and marketing support. After meeting with the chairman of the club, I agreed to join the club as a ‘Media Officer’ on a volunteer basis. To help give the club a professional look, I designed weekly match day graphics for social media, designed match day programmes for all home games and also maintained the club website with latest news, results, fixture and sponsor updates.

The club were very happy with the design and marketing materials I produced whilst volunteering with them and the digital programme reads increased by a massive 75% since the new design was rolled out at the beginning of the 2023 season. The season was a massive success with Cambrian finishing 4th, which was their highest league finish in the Cymru South. The club are going back to their roots and rebranding as ‘Cambrian United’ for the 2024-2025 season.
