Narre South Lions player, 8 year old Dylan Burdett, has scored a new sponsor – Bingle, after contacting the online comprehensive car insurance company directly and explaining he’d like the same sponsor as his hero Richmond’s, Jack Riewoldt.

“Jack Riewoldt is my favourite footy player, and when I joined the Lions, I got the same jumper as him – number 8. When I found out we could get player sponsors, I knew I wanted the same one as him too.”

Bingle spokesperson Melanie Vine said the team at Bingle were impressed with Dylan’s initiative in contacting them for sponsorship, and his passion for football, the Richmond and Jack Riewoldt.
“After reading Dylan’s letter to Bingle, we knew we couldn’t say no to supporting him and the Narre South Lions. He told us he’d met Jack in the Bingle tent at Richmond’s Family Day earlier this year, got his autograph, and then the same jumper number when he joined his first footy team. It seems Dylan, Jack and Bingle are meant to be together, and really, who can argue with that?” Ms Vine said.

When asked why Jack was his favourite player, Dylan said, “Because he kicked a lot of goals last year,” and that he hoped sharing the same number and sponsor would bring him good luck and lots of goals too.

“It’s great to be able to extend our support of Richmond Football Club into the community like this. We’re looking forward to hearing about the Narre South Lions wins over the season, and Dylan’s Jack Riewoldt-like goal record.” Ms Vine said.
