The Rugby Football League is delighted to welcome Watchfinder as an official partner of England Rugby League.
Watchfinder is the UK’s largest seller of premium pre-owned watches and their logo will feature on the right sleeve of the England Rugby League jersey throughout the Rugby League World Cup 2017.
Thanks to the partnership, Watchfinder will have access to the England Rugby League squad and will host events, competitions and more from its Leeds branch – full details of which will be revealed in due course.
Watchfinder is the premier resource to buy and sell premium pre-owned watches, with thousands of watches available from more than 50 brands. The brand has enjoyed phenomenal growth since it was founded in 2002 and is recognised as the very best in the business. It stocks thousands of watches around from the likes of Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer and Patek Philippe and has branches in Leeds, Kent and London.
Rugby Football League Chief Commercial Officer, Roger Draper, said: “We are delighted to partner with Watchfinder & Co for the upcoming 2017 Rugby League World Cup. They have recognised the strong opportunity that partnering with our national team brings and we are excited about working with them in the coming months. We are all hopeful that the England team can start well this Friday against hosts Australia and we will all be willing them on to bring home the World Cup in December.”
The company has enjoyed sports sponsorship success in the past, having supported ITV4’s coverage of the 2017 Tour de France and La Vuelta a España, and it will reach another passionate audience with its England Rugby League deal.
Watchfinder Director, Matt Bowling, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring England Rugby League on their World Cup journey and will be immensely proud seeing our logo on the players’ jerseys. The tournament will be watched by millions around the world, and we’re excited to reach such a passionate and devoted audience for the duration. We’re really looking forward to sharing the experience with our clients and have some exciting plans for an event in our Leeds store. England have a great chance of going all the way this year, and Watchfinder will be with them every step of the way!”
