WORCESTER Raiders have announced a new official partnership with global insurance brokers and current Premiership Rugby sponsors, Gallagher.

One of the world’s largest insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting services companies, Gallagher’s branding will appear on the front of the club’s brand-new O’Neills away kit, which will be unveiled next week.

Gallagher agreed a multi-year deal with Premiership Rugby ahead of the 2018/19 season.

Sister club Worcester Warriors play in the Gallagher Premiership and this deal represents further collaboration between the clubs.

"We are delighted that we have attracted a major global brand in Gallagher to come on board and support our journey as we look to progress through the leagues," said Worcester Raiders Chairman Steve Harris.

"It’s great to see their brand on our away playing shirt, and we are very much looking forward to working with John Court-Jones and his team to develop and promote football in Worcester."

John Court-Jones, Client Director at Gallagher, said: "We are delighted to be sponsoring Worcester Raiders FC this season.

"As a community insurance broker, supporting sport in the regions where we are based is something we are passionate about.

"Partnering with a West Midlands club, which is very much at the heart of the local community, and which has had a longstanding presence in the area, is a huge source of pride for us.

"We wish the team every success this season.”
