Leisure Resorts is thrilled to announce the continuation of its partnership with the Leigh Leopards for the 2025 season. As part of this extended agreement, Leisure Resorts will proudly sponsor the back shoulder of the club’s home and away kits; a partnership that now spans 9 years.
This long-standing partnership has been a source of great pride for Leisure Resorts, supporting the Leopards’ journey and contributing to their success.
Over the past three seasons, the Leopards have achieved remarkable success, from winning the Championship to lifting the Challenge Cup and reaching the Super League Semi-Final for the first time. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team.
We’re proud to support a club that is not only a force on the pitch but also a positive influence in the community. The Leopards’ commitment to inclusivity, from their women’s team to their LDRL section, is inspiring.
Our partnership goes beyond just a logo on the shirt. We’re dedicated to supporting the Leopards in every way possible, from providing recovery opportunities for players to engaging with fans.
Leisure Resorts CEO Gary Molloy expressed his enthusiasm for the continued partnership: “It gives me great pleasure to be able to continue our involvement, not only with Leigh Leopards but within the fantastic sport that is Rugby League.
“It’s been great to see the success enjoyed by the team over the past three seasons. We had the record-breaking Championship year in 2022, the Challenge Cup-winning season of 2023 and this year has again seen the Leopards clinch a play-off place and reach the semi-finals for the first time.
“That success is the realisation of so much hard work and dedication by everyone involved. We are also greatly impressed by the way the club communicates with the town and their games are attended by all ages and are happy and exciting occasions.
“The club is an inclusive one and it’s been great to watch the success of the Women’s team and enjoy the growth of the LDRL section. Next season is even more exciting with the launch of the academy to go with the reformation of the reserves team this year. The growth of the club year on year is very exciting and it’s rewarding for us to be part of it and experience so many great occasions.
“We have had a presence on the shirt now for nine years, and during that time, we have seen the growth of business from Rugby League fans, which is often evident by the different replica shirts I see in our parks. I love how inclusive the sport is, and how it can have such fierce rivalry on the field, yet the fans can share friendly banter and come together to support each other in tough times. No other sport is like it that I have seen.
“We want to reward fans for their loyalty to sponsors of the game and will again be running specific offers throughout the year to achieve that.
We wish everyone at the Leopards and all the competing teams a successful and healthy 2025 season.”
Of the continued partnership, Leigh Leopards COO Steve Kerr said: “Leisure Resorts’ fantastic support with the club continues with their company logo featured on the back of the shirt for a ninth year. The continued relationship goes way beyond just providing good commercial benefits for both parties. There’s a synergy between us that has created some special moments and memories throughout the years.
“They continue to provide great recovery opportunities for players during the season in their spa lodges at Ullswater Heights which has been beneficial to the team. Fans will have recently seen the support for Edwin Ipape in the off season and we thank Leisure Resorts for going the extra mile in supporting players with some rest and recuperation. We are all looking forward to working with Gary and his Leisure Resorts team to continue benefiting others and creating new memories.”
