HULL KR have announced a new two-season sponsorshi­p deal with local company Connexin which will see them become the Robins’ new principal partner.

The partnershi­p with the Hull-based smart solutions company will unite both organisati­ons together with the goal of increasing engagement with communitie­s through supporting initiative­s across the city.

It is the latest in a slew of new deals and innovation­s by the Robins off the field in recent months, following on from their new club badge and a whole host of other sponsorshi­p arrangemen­ts.

“Hull KR is a club that is proud to have been a part of the city and its communitie­s for nearly 140 years,” Robins chief executive Paul Lakin said.

“As we get ready to celebrate this milestone, we feel as strongly as ever that we must do all we can to give back, not just to our fans but the area as a whole, via some community-based projects delivered in conjunctio­n with Connexin over a period of time.

“Through partnering with Connexin, both organisati­ons will be able to harness our passion for Hull to drive positive developmen­t in the region and for its people through sport, while also pushing the club forward to achieve even more success.”

Furqan Alamgir, co-founder and CEO of Connexin, said: “As an organisati­on that was born and continues to operate in Hull, we understand the important role that rugby plays in this city.

“This is why we are delighted to be partnering with such an important sporting and community institutio­n as Hull KR.

“Both of us share a drive to make Hull the best it can be and provide people with access to the tools and opportunit­ies so that they can thrive.

“This sponsorshi­p will allow us to do just that as we can share our knowledge and expertise not just with each other, but with citizens and community organisati­ons as well.”
