iPRO Reveal Renewed Partnership with Sale Sharks

iPRO are delighted to announce the renewal of their partnership with Sale Sharks. Under the three-year partnership renewal, iPRO will continue to hydrate the Sharks with iPRO Sport Edition for the Men's and Academy teams, and now the Women’s team. Teams will also receive reusable iPRO water bottles and branded hardware for efficient hydration during fixtures.

Lucy Darrall, iPRO Global Partnerships Manager, commented:

“We’re incredibly proud to be a club partner of Sale Sharks for five years, and we’re thrilled to continue hydrating the Sharks for another three more. The intensity of the sport, particularly Premiership matches, means players need to be thoroughly hydrated from the start. Consuming a trusted hydration drink like our Informed Sport certified range is key. We’re excited to continue our journey with the club”.

The past two years have been full of unprecedented challenges for rugby resulting from the pandemic. Pre-season was shorter than expected, fans were forced to cheer at the TV from their sofas, and games were postponed or cancelled at short notice. However, the Sharks had their best season in over a decade last campaign, sealing a top-four position for the first time since the 2005-06 season (when they finished as Champions).

Since their partnership with iPRO commenced in 2016, the Sharks first team have consumed around 5,000 bottles of iPRO Sport Edition every season. Playing whilst thoroughly hydrated is a significant component to a winning Sharks performance, and it's a testament to the quality of iPRO Sport Edition. Fuelling up with the hydration range in the hours before kick-off against Exeter this Sunday will nourish player’s for optimal game day performance.

Sharks CEO, Sid Sutton, said:

“iPRO have been a key partner of Sale Sharks for a number of years and we’re delighted to be able to extend our agreement for three more years. Partnerships with brands who fit with our culture and values are key to the growth of the club and iPRO fit that description perfectly. Growing the women’s team and women’s rugby in the north of England, as well as giving our academy players the very best opportunity to succeed and build their careers in the game are key focuses for us, so to have the support of iPRO right across the men’s, women’s and academy squads is fantastic.”

iPRO Sport Edition is a market-leading hydration drink containing a carbohydrate boost of maltodextrin and added electrolytes. Hydrating with iPRO Sport Edition throughout a match is vital to Shark players as they lose fluids through the intense and fast-paced nature of the sport. Available in Berry Mix, Orange & Pineapple, Citrus Blend, and Mango, iPRO Sport Edition is rich in vitamin C and metabolism-boosting vitamins B5, B6, B7, and B12.
