CENTURIONS FLYING HIGH WITH NEW DEAL

Tagged in &

UK rugby league club Leigh Centurions has agreed a five-figure sponsorship deal with Emirates airline.

It will see the Middle East airline on the club’s first Super League shirt and emblazoned across its new tunnel.

Executive director Derek Beaumont commented “I am thrilled to have such a prolific brand associated with the club and overwhelmed that the Centurions brand has been chosen to introduce Emirates into rugby league.

“This to my mind is the biggest brand name associated with Super League and is a great benchmark upon which we aim to set standards across Super League both on and off the field.
