Gloucester Rugby have announce that Mitsubishi Motors (UK) has agreed a three year contract to become the club's new main partner from July 1st, 2015.

The announcement sees the company take over from Adey Professional Heating Solutions as the club's Main Partner.

Mitsubishi Motors (UK) has already been a partner of Gloucester Rugby for over eight years. The company has been the sponsor of the Shogun Bar since the construction of the South Stand at Kingsholm in 2007 and also featured on the collar and shorts of the first team playing strip.

However, the new deal will now see the famous Three Diamond trademark feature on the front of next season's new playing, training strip and replica wear.

Gloucester Rugby CEO, Stephen Vaughan, expressed his delight at the prospect of working hand in hand with Mitsubishi Motors (UK), but first thanked Adey Professional Heating Solutions for its involvement over the past two years.

"I would like to thank ADEY who have been superb to work with as our Main Sponsor for the past two seasons. We will part on great terms, and hope we have helped them continue their impressive path of growth.

"We wish them all the very best for the future and hope to see them at games at Kingsholm supporting the team going forward.

"However, we are thrilled to be able to confirm Mitsubishi Motors (UK) as our new Main Partner. We already have a strong working relationship and we look forward to building on this over the next few years.

"Mitsubishi is a globally recognised brand with a track record of innovation, excellence and quality.

"Our new partner is based locally in Cirencester but has global reach and share, and very similar aspirations for its business as we do. We both have a burning desire to see Gloucester Rugby competing for honours going forward.

"It's a fun, exciting brand and a great fit".

Lance Bradley, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Motors (UK), commented: "We have been great supporters of Gloucester Rugby over the years and the club's fan base runs deep into our organisation. We will be embarking on many exciting initiatives together and are delighted to be confirmed as the club's main partner".
