Lookers Kia in Sheffield has signed a 12-month sponsorship deal with Tim Bergin and Alex Szostak of the Sheffield Eagles rugby league team.

The Kia dealership is also providing a car for these two Eagles’ players as they coach rugby league to young players in the community.

The Kia dealership, which recently opened in July, donated a Kia cee’d 1.4 strike to the players to aid their personal development and work with local teams.

The Kia will be used by Irish International Bergin and Scottish International Szostak, both of whom are competing in the Alitalia Rugby League European Cup.

Chris Jepson, dealer principal, Lookers Kia Sheffield, said: “As a dealership we like to support community venture’s and are proud that by providing a car for the scheme we may have a little hand in discovering the next local rugby star.”
