Exeter Chiefs score extension with kit partner

UK-based sportswear manufacturer Samurai Sportswear has opted to extend its partnership with English Premiership rugby union club Exeter Chiefs.

The renewed deal will run for five seasons, from 2016-17 to 2020-21.

Samurai will continue to supply playing apparel, training kit and off-field leisurewear to the Chiefs. The deal will also cover the provision of replica kit for supporters.

Samurai’s partnership with the Chiefs began in 2010 and the arrangement is the joint longest of its type in the top-tier Premiership.
