The Newcastle Knights are pleased to announce
Sportsbet.com.au have upgraded its sponsorship to become a Major Partner of the Club through to the end of the 2014 season.
Sportsbet.com.au, the Official Betting Partner of the Knights, will now have their logo featured on the top back of the Knights' playing jerseys.
Troy Palmer, CEO of Hunter Sports Group was delighted with the commitment shown by Sportsbet.com.au
"To secure additional investment and support from a major national brand mid-season is truly unique and a great achievement for the Knights, Palmer said.
This is a reward for the interest that has been generated by the Knights and the entire HSG.
"This announcement demonstrates that sponsors have a real belief in our project, our sports team and our town, especially after what has been a challenging two months for the Knights on the field.
I also believe it highlights the unique position of the Hunter Sport Group; in that we have been able to build the Knights brand and supporter base to become one of the leading clubs in the NRL."
We already enjoy a fantastic relationship with the Hunter Sports Group and weve now strengthened our commitment to HSG and the Hunter region further with this announcement," Sportsbet.com.aus Cormac Barry said.
Showing their support for the Hunter Region, Sportsbet.com.au donated their spot on the Knights children's jerseys to the Hunter Sports Group for use by a local charity. The John Hunter Children's Hospital logo will now appear on the jerseys so valuable promotion and exposure can be provided for this important contributor to the local community.
