PUB retailer Greene King are the new main sponsors of Worcester Warriors after agreeing a four-year deal.

Last year, Warriors announced that long-standing club sponsor Worcester Bosch were to become a secondary partner at Sixways.

Now Greene King will assume main sponsorship, including the front of the first-team shirt, from the start of the season.

They have been a prominent partner of Warriors for more than 10 years.

Greene King IPA, the flagship beer of Greene King, has links to Worcestershire and is also the main sponsor of English rugby's second tier, The Championship.

Warriors head of partnerships Leyton Williams said: "This is a really exciting time for the Warriors commercially.

"Following on from the announcement of our new kit supplier, we now have the country's leading pub retailer and brewer adding their brand to the front of the Warriors home and away shirts which shows great confidence in what we are trying to achieve.

"There's more positive news for Warriors fans on the way with a number of other commercial deals to be announced over the next few weeks.”
