Leicester Tigers is excited to announce a long-term partnership with premium performance sportswear brand Castore.
Castore will become the official kit supplier to the club, providing playing kit, training wear, and athleisure for the men’s, women’s, wheelchair, and academy squads. The first range of products will be launched in August ahead of the new season.
The partnership will also see Castore oversee the club’s physical and online retail operations, enhancing fan access to Leicester Tigers merchandise. Supporters will also be able to purchase the new range in person at Castore’s Leicester Highcross store.
Leicester Tigers joins fellow Gallagher Premiership clubs Saracens, Bath, Harlequins and Exeter Chiefs, as well as England Rugby, as rugby brands partner with Castore, continuing their investment in elite rugby. Castore’s growing presence in rugby reflects its commitment to supporting high-performance athletes and clubs as well as inspiring those at grassroots, with the sport core to the identities of many communities across the UK.
On the new partnership, Leicester Tigers Chief Executive Officer Andrea Pinchen said: “We are delighted to finalise a long term technical agreement with Castore. We join a list of clubs that will benefit from their investment in rugby and, throughout the process, have been extremely impressed by the quality of the range that our players and fans will have available to them.”
“Castore’s expertise in curating retail experiences was a major reason for choosing them as our technical partner and to have them managing our retail arm for the club moving forward. Additionally, with a flagship store in the Highcross centre, we are delighted that Leicester Tigers merchandise will once again be available in the centre of our great city.
“We are determined to build on this year’s successes on the pitch and look forward to doing so in a brilliant set of kits for the new season.”
Co-founder of Castore Tom Beahon added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Leicester Tigers into the Castore family. This partnership marks another step in our mission to support world-class teams with world-class apparel."
"Leicester Tigers' rich history and passionate fanbase are the perfect match for our high-performance sportswear, and we’re proud to have the side join several top-tier rugby clubs choosing Castore to kit them out.
"Going into the 2025/26 season, this new partnership means we’ll be equipping half the Gallagher Premiership with the performance sportswear they need on matchday, in training and at leisure.
"This represents our full dedication to investing in rugby in this country, both at the elite club level with Tigers and others, and at national level, with England Rugby also sporting the Castore wings. We look forward to seeing the wings now take to the field at Mattioli Woods Welford Road this coming season and beyond.”
