Western Force extends with major partner

Australian Super Rugby franchise Western Force has extended its partnership with engineering and project services contractor Clough.

The new three-year deal runs from 2017 to 2019, with Clough to retain its position as a major partner of the franchise, which has been enduring financial difficulties.

Under the agreement, Clough’s branding will feature on the right chest area of the team’s playing jerseys.

“Clough shares our passion for growing rugby from the grassroots level right through to the Western Force and over the last three years have been integral in helping our club strive towards our goals,” Western Force general manager Mark Sinderberry said.

“The relationship is further strengthened by this agreement and we thank Clough for standing by us in a difficult time as we look forward to an exciting next three years of this partnership.”

Clough has served as a major partner and collar sponsor of the Perth-based team since 2014.
