CATALOGUE and website clothes company Solid Clothing has struck a sponsorship deal with the Worcester Warriors rugby club.

The team, newly promoted to the Zurich Premiership, has appointed Solid Clothing to provide formal wear, including blazers, ties, shirts, trousers and shoes.

And players have agreed to model the clothes for the firm's new catalogue, out later this year.

"These are exciting times for Solid Clothing and for Worcester," said Paul Rooke, managing director of the business, which is based in Surrey.

"As a company, we have always been committed to club rugby and to be involved with a Premiership club allows us to be viewed as a serious contender in the menswear market."
