Sale Sharks are delighted to announce a new partnership with Manchester-based Roma Finance which will see the property lending specialist’s logo displayed on the back of the club’s kits for the 2021/22 season.

The distinctive Roma branding will appear above the players’ numbers on the club’s new Macron kit when the Sharks players take the field for their first fixture of the new campaign against Bath Rugby on September 18.

Sharks CEO Sid Sutton said: “Roma Finance is a perfect fit for us and we’re thrilled to welcome Scott and the team to the Sharks family.

“It’s a growing business with community and its customers at the heart of everything it does, in the same way that our supporters are central to everything we do at Sale Sharks.

“We’re at the start of an extremely exciting journey for the club both on and off the pitch and we couldn’t be happier to welcome a partner that matches our ambition and our values.”

Roma Finance is a property lender focused on bridging, development and buy-to-let finance, for residential and commercial properties, operating throughout England, Wales and Scotland.

Scott Marshall, managing director of Roma Finance, said: “Sponsoring Sharks is a watershed moment for Roma.

“Sale Sharks’ values are very closely aligned with our own and I am genuinely excited about the future of this young partnership. As a successful team, Sharks are entering an exciting new era and we as a business are thrilled to be on this journey. We are looking forward to a fantastic season.

“Roma is a lender less ordinary. We’re successful as we are entirely focussed on creating wealth for customers through property investment and development.

“Working in collaboration with our partners we remain agile and enthusiastic, we continue to learn and have a winning formula that delivers real results.”
