PUMA has signed a long-term partnership with Netherlands international and Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong (pictured), who will wear PUMA PowerCat 1.12 boots and become another key performance icon in the sportlifestyle brand’s global communication.
“I’m really happy to be beginning this journey with PUMA,” says de Jong.
“I need a boot that I am comfortable with and the PowerCat 1.12 gives me the power and confidence to play at my best.
“I’m already enjoying working with the brand and they have some big plans ahead. This is just the beginning.”
Speaking about the new partnership, Roger Harrison, marketing director at PUMA UK, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Nigel to the PUMA family.
“He’s a key part of our football communication alongside some of our other recent signings, including Sergio Aguero, Cesc Fabregas and Yaya Toure.
“He embodies the enjoyment of football on and off the pitch, as well as being a very powerful player, and will be a vital asset for PUMA in and beyond 2012.”
