A legal and professional services firm has committed to a three-year sponsorship of Jersey's top rugby team.
Ogier will be partnering with the Jersey Rugby Football Club as a Platinum Sponsor from June 2024.
The logo of the professional services and legal firm will feature on the front of Jersey RFC's playing shirts, in advertising displayed at home matches, within the matchday programme, and on the men's team training and travelling kit.
The sponsorship comes as the men's amateur side are flying high after re-entering the English Rugby Football Union league structure in 2022 – and becoming Jersey's top rugby team after the demise of Championship winners Jersey Reds last September.
Last week, Jersey RFC won the Regional Two South Central with three games to spare after a 54-7 victory over Newbury Blues, earning them promotion to fifth tier Regional One South Central next season.

Raulin Amy, Practice Partner of Ogier's Jersey office, said: "We have a long history of supporting rugby in the island and this partnership demonstrates our continued commitment to local sport. Ogier shares Jersey RFC's values of teamwork and providing a platform for local talent.
"Going out as an independent club is an exciting chapter in Jersey RFC's history. They have achieved success at national level already and we are excited to join them in the early stages of this journey. We look forward to beginning our partnership this summer and to cheering on the team as Platinum Sponsor."
Jersey RFC Chairman Dan McAlister added that the club was "delighted" to head into the next season with Ogier's support.

He said: "Ogier have had close ties with rugby in the island for several years and we know this partnership will be a great fit for both of us.
"Getting re-established in the league system and dealing with recent changes to the rugby landscape have brought challenges for JRFC, but also opportunities, and having an organisation like Ogier on our side leaves us better placed to move forward in future."
