KUKRI EXTEND PARTNERSHIP WITH GLENTORAN F.C.
Kukri Sports is delighted to announce an extension to its partnership with Irish Premiership club Glentoran F.C. The deal which will run until the end of the 2014-15 season will see Kukri continue to provide all playing and training kit to the East Belfast club – who were the first top-flight local football club to wear Kukri kit when the partnership began in 2011.
‘The Glens’ have a proud tradition and are currently celebrating the 130th Anniversary of the club’s founding. They also have bright and ambitious plans for the future, with a proposed move to Belfast’s Titanic Quarter at an advanced planning stage.
Terry Jackson, Director and General Manager of Kukri Sports Ireland, said: “We’re really proud to continue our strong relationship with Glentoran F.C. The first two seasons have been a great success and feedback from players and supporters to our range of playing kit, training wear and leisurewear has been really positive. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the club as their exciting plans for the future start to take shape.”
Terrence Brannigan, Glentoran Chairman, said:” We are delighted to confirm an extension to our agreement with Kukri and look forward to the next 2 years ahead together. To have all our teams from the first team to our successful ladies team and right down through our Academy wearing Kukri is fantastic and we thank Kukri for their continued support of the Club ”
