Following on from the integration of Worcester Ladies’ first-team into the Warriors operation, the newly-named Worcester Valkyries have announced a new partnership with leading niche insurer NMU.
The deal will see the NMU logo feature on the front of the Valkyries home and away shirts as well as their training wear range, while they will also have a sponsor board in the South Stand at Sixways.
Main sponsors NMU have been long-term supporters of ladies rugby having previously been a supporter of the Worcester Ladies team.
NMU Chief Executive Officer David Perfect commented: “NMU are delighted to have renewed the partnership with the newly-named Worcester Valkyries.
“Women’s Rugby is growing internationally so we’re very proud to be part of that.
“It’s great to see the Valkyries now playing all of their home matches on the Sixways Stadium pitch and we look forward to supporting them in their 2016/17 Women’s Premiership campaign.”
Valkyries winger and England Women’s Rugby World Cup winner Lydia Thompson said: “It’s an exciting time for all the Valkyries and we’re delighted that NMU have agreed to be part of our journey.”
Worcester Valkyries play Bristol Rugby Ladies in their first double header alongside Warriors on Saturday 24 September, with the men taking on Sale Sharks at 3pm before the women’s game at 5pm.
