Peter Vardy is lending Edinburgh Rugby a brand new Vauxhall Movano to transport kit and other training items, as part of a two-year sponsorship.

As the official van partner of Edinburgh Rugby, Peter Vardy has also emblazoned the van with images of the club’s scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne and hooker Ross Ford.

The collaboration is an extension of Peter Vardy’s vehicle partnership with Scottish Rugby to which it supplies a fleet of vehicles which are predominantly used by coaching staff to assist in the development and growth of the game at club and school level.

Edinburgh Rugby managing director David Davies said: "We’re delighted to team up with a company whose family name has been synonymous for so many years and has a fresh approach to business.

"The van itself will have huge visibility for both Edinburgh Rugby and Peter Vardy as it transports kit around Europe for our Guinness PRO12 and European Cup fixtures."

Chief executive Peter Vardy said: "Winning teams work well together and the successful van partnership between Edinburgh Rugby and the Peter Vardy Group is a great example of this. We're very excited to be partnering with a high profile local team that is among the elite national and international club sides."
