BRIGHT’S youngest soccer players are enjoying brand new uniforms thanks to a $5000 funding boost.

The Bright Soccer Club recently received the funds as part of the Woolworths Fresh Food Kids community grants program.

Club president, Andrew Friend, said the grant meant a lot to the club, which has been operating since 2005.

"$5000 really makes a big difference for a club of our size," he said.

"We’re absolutely thrilled and grateful."

The club, which has around 65 members aged between 12 and four years, gives local children the chance to enjoy soccer in an environment aimed at having fun.
