Worcester-based law firm MFG Solicitors (MFG) has signed a deal
to become the 2010/11 sponsor for Worcester Warriors and England
back-row star, Matt Kvesic.
Kvesic is a product of the Warriors Academy system and has
forced his way into Richard Hill's first team plans this season. In
2010, the former England Under-18 captain became the youngest ever
player to appear for the Warriors in the professional
era.
Kvesic, 18, has also boosted his profile with two recent tries
as England Under-20s got their Six Nations campaign off to a
perfect start with a narrow victory over Wales. He also put on an
impressive performance in the latest 19-8 triumph over the French
at Sixways. Kvesic has recently pledged his future to Worcester
Warriors by signing a new contract. He was contracted for next
season but has now agreed new terms beyond that period.
Maynard Burton, chairman of MFG said; "Matt is quite rightly
hailed as a star of the future within English rugby and we are
delighted to be associated with him. He is a class act. As a firm
we are big supporters of the Warriors and being able to work with
someone like Matt helps to raise the profile of grassroots rugby
and the great work done by so many in and around the
club.
"Matt's professionalism and attitude is a first class example
and those at the highest level of international rugby speak
extremely highly of him. Warrior's deserve to be back playing in
the Premiership next season and with outstanding talents like Matt
coming through the system we are certain the club will re-cement
its position as a Premiership force."
Matt Kvesic added; "I'm grateful for MFG's support and I know
how big supporters they are of the club and grassroots rugby across
Worcestershire. I've worked hard this season and I'm fortunate to
be part of such a great squad at the Warriors and with England
Under-20s.
"We've got a big few weeks coming up and I hope I can continue
to contribute to the buzz that's around the club at the moment.
There's a renewed enthusiasm at
Sixways and the support from our fans has made a massive
contribution this season."
