Expanding UK squash brand MANTIS has announced the signing of world number 23 Steven Coppinger (pictured).
The five time South African National title winner will be using the MANTIS Power 110 racquet and MANTIS Tour response string when he kicks off 2013 PSA tournaments this month.
Coppinger, who resides in Cape Town, says: “I am delighted to have joined the MANTIS family and look forward to a long and positive relationship.
“Despite being a new brand on the market, they have already impressed on the circuit and there are very exciting times ahead.”
Martin Aldridge, founder and managing director of MANTIS, adds: “Steve is our first world top 25 player and we are delighted he has chosen MANTIS.
“2012 was a superb year for us as a brand across all of our sports and this signing helps start 2013 in style.”
