Leicester Tigers inks long-term deal with Castore as kit supplier

Premiership rugby team Leicester Tigers has selected sportswear brand Castore as its new official kit supplier.

The deal will see theUK brand provide playing kits, 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, with kits to be worn by a range of England stars including Freddie Steward and Ollie Chessum.

“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,” said Tom Beahon, co-founder of Castore.

“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.”

The deal brings the number of Premiership rugby teams under the Castore banner to five (the brand already supplies Saracens, Bath, Harlequins and Exeter Chiefs), and will build upon its recent deal to supply the England national side’s kits.

Andrea Pinchen, CEO of Leicester Tigers 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,” she added.
