Warriors Partner with Shock Doctor
Wigan Warriors are delighted to announce a landmark deal with Shock Doctor becoming the first team in Rugby League to partner with the prestigious brand.
Official licensees of Barcelona FC, Arsenal FC, UEFA Champions League and official suppliers to Saracens RU, Shock Doctor will become the official mouthguard supplier to Wigan Warriors and provide the latest in custom fit mouthguard technology to the Warriors first team for the next three years.
As part of the deal the Warriors will also team up with McDavid who will become official compression and sports medical partner of the Club and supply compression garments and supports to the Warriors first team.
The deal will see Shock Doctor and McDavid products become available in the Warriors World club shop and the online store.
Shock Doctor has been at the forefront of mouthguard technology since 1993 and is proud to be the world’s No1 mouthguard. Shock Doctor is available in over 70 countries and this agreement sees the brand further establish its leading position in the UK sports protection market. Shock Doctor is distributed in the UK by Hy-Pro International ltd.
Kris Radlinski, Warriors Rugby Director, said: “This is a tremendous association for Wigan. The deal puts us in distinguished company alongside the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal and Saracens. When we met the guys from Shock Doctor, it was very clear that we shared the same vision. The toughest sport needs the best protection and we know from seeing their products that Shock Doctor delivers.
“Recovery is also a vital part of a Rugby League player’s week and again working with the compression range from McDavid, it gives our players the best chance to prepare their body for games each week. We are always looking to extend our partnership portfolio but they need to bring value to what we do. These two companies certainly tick that box and we are delighted to have them on board.”
Atul Shah, CEO Hy-Pro International commented “We’re thrilled to be working with Wigan Warriors. This agreement will become part of our long-term brand development strategy and cement our position as global leaders in sports protection, compression and sports medical support. We are looking forward to a long and successful partnership and sharing in the ethos of the Wigan club.”
