BARROW Raiders have announced two new partnerships with a kit supplier and shirt sponsor.

Leisurewear company O'Neills have landed a two-year deal with Raiders, and new replica shirts will be available from November.

The reveal of the new shirts will also include the appearance of a brand new shirt sponsor, Steve Woods Limited, a heavy machinery parts company.

The club issued a statement announcing both deals:

"Following a chance meeting with our chairman in a pub after the Betfred Challenge Cup final in London, Steve was sold on the progress and potential of the club and seemed keen to get involved. 

He has since built a relationship with Adele from our commercial department, and has come on board in a two-year deal."

On his decision to become the club’s new main shirt sponsor, Mr Woods said: 

"Rugby league has been a huge part of the lives of my family and I. 

"We feel proud and privileged to be able to support Barrow Raiders, and I am keen to be part of the exciting journey, hopefully into Super League."

The club has also confirmed that Advanced Roofing and Plastics Centre, the previous main shirt sponsor, will now feature on the shoulders and back.
