Knights team up with Huntlee

Huntlee was unveiled as a new sponsor of the Newcastle Knights for the next three seasons at the Club's annual awards evening on October 9.

The multi-year deal will see the Huntlee logo in the prestigious sternum position of the Newcastle Knights jersey.

Huntlee Project Director, Stephen Thompson, said the Huntlee team is delighted to form an association with the Hunter's favourite sporting team.

"The Knights are an iconic brand in the region and have some exciting community initiatives for the future," Mr Thompson said.

"The philosophy of our business is to develop sustainable and enjoyable living environments for our residents. We look forward to providing some unique opportunities for the families of Huntlee through this sponsorship deal."

Knights CEO, Matt Gidley, thanked Mr Thompson and his team for Huntlee's long-term commitment to the Knights, saying the deal is a significant community partnership for both parties.

"Huntlee is a world class development right here in the heart of the Hunter," Mr Gidley said.

"We are thrilled to partner with an organisation which is not only boosting the local economy but creating an entire new town which many Hunter families will be proud to call home."

The Knights will first wear the jersey featuring the Huntlee logo at the Auckland Nines tournament in February as part of preparations for the 2016 NRL season.
