Murray signs with adidas

British number one tennis player Andy Murray has signed a new £15 million, five-year deal with sportswear maker adidas.

The City AM newspaper reports that the deal begins 2010 and marks the end of Murray’s relationship with sportswear manufacturer Fred Perry.

Adidas said in a statement: “The 22-year-old Briton will sport the iconic three stripes from January onwards.”

Murray will sport his new look when he plays in the Hopman Cup in Australia during the New Year, alongside fellow British player Laura Robson.
