Its good to see Jet 2 returning to rugby sponsorship after all these years.

Worst kept secret but a great sponsorship deal for Leigh and for RL in general. 
 

Let’s hope more follow suit. 

[Dullish Mood]

Good stuff, we need more blue chip sponsors like this.

And with a joined up approach we can. We go away often on holiday, we buy plenty food, we spend a fortune on utilities, on mobile phones on insurance etc There is a value to be sold, we just have pratts giving it all away

Have you a link for that?

[Wigan Riversider]

Hope it all works out.

RL needs sponsors, money, good players and a higher media profile.

shirt sales have really taken off

That's a great sponsor for a RL team! The 3rd largest airline in the UK and certainly well known right across Europe. We need more sponsors like this in our game.

It’s rare these days to have figures made publicly available, but based on conversations I’ve had with people involved I believe it to be 6 figures so it’s definitely not peanuts. 

[JohnM]

From Jet2 some years ago.

"There were high kicks and smiles all round as both Leeds Rugby and Jet2.com celebrated this significant step, which is set to increase the profile of Jet2.com and Leeds Rugby in the region and on a national level.

Both teams, not forgetting the lovely Leeds Rugby dancers, will proudly sport the Jet2.com logo on their shirts which we hope will drive the teams to continued and further success in the premiership"

Good to see they've not gone away Hope it delivers what Jet2 and Leigh have agreed.

The people in Leigh town are going to need to be permanently on holiday if the figure quoted is correct and they are to come Back for more…

They’re flying off the shelves.

The CEO lives near Leigh, so would know all about the Leopards.

So how much is the deal actually worth to Leigh in cash £ notes?

Edit: See its answered in another post.

Second Edit: Any link to the value, can't find it mentioned?

Leigh as a club are certainly flying high as of late.

[warriors 95]

All very impressive from little old Leigh and even more so from a club that doesn’t even have a train station let alone an airport.
