Vodafone has announced a new partnership with Rugby Players Scotland (RPS) to become its official communications partner.
The telecommunications company will support the organisation over the next two years, providing business support and funding to current and former players.
This will come in the form of advice and guidance to current and former players represented by the RPS, supporting players’ existing business ventures, or helping them to get started.
Vodafone will play a role in helping players who are interested in creating a career alongside or after rugby, awarding annual grants to support their learning and development off the playing field.
Andrew Stevens, head of small business at Vodafone, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our network of partnerships within rugby today - we look forward to working with each association to explore new and exciting ways to support current and former players in their business endeavours.”
Tim Swinson, chair of RPS, said: “The partnership between Rugby Players Scotland and Vodafone highlights the desire of both organisations and that of professional rugby as a whole to support continued learning and business development within our membership.”
