Specsavers extend partnership with RFL

Specsavers will continue their sponsorship deal with the Rugby Football League for a fifth year.

The trusted optician first got involved at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup and have appeared on all match official kits throughout the game – from the Betfred Super League, to the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup down to the grassroots game and they will be ever present again this season.

Specsavers will continue to support Rugby League with a number of activities in 2018, including the ‘fifth official’ campaign which in 2017, saw nine-year-old Jessica Marsh enjoy a once in a lifetime experience as part of the match officials team at the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Ralph Rimmer, interim CEO of the RFL, said: “It is fantastic news that Specsavers are continuing their partnership with the Rugby Football League for another year.

“They have been a perfect match for sponsorship of our match officials at all levels of the game for the last four years and we’re looking forward to working together once again in 2018.”
