Haven have revealed their away shirt for 2018 after agreeing a two-year deal with a new kit supplier.

West Cumbrian-based Marras Rugby will provide the kit for Carl Forster's side, having signed a five-figure deal to produce playing, training and match day apparel for the squad.

The company, which was launched in the summer, is headed by Billy Rudd, who formerly ran Unique Sports in Whitehaven, while Dave Farrell, of Farrell Sports in Cleator Moor, is a business partner.

Farrell said: "Marras Rugby is using contacts in the UK to develop a new design, using innovative production methods, to come up with a modern kit which honours the traditions of the club - especially as next year is the club's 70th anniversary.

"We are pleased to bring to supporters the new alternative kit for next year. It looks neat, fresh and professional, it will be available for sale in the next few days."

The new shirt is available for pre-order now while the home shirt will be available in the new year, before the season gets underway.

"Hopefully the fans will like it and it will be on the top of their Christmas present list," said Farrell.

"The Marras brand will feature heavily on everything we put out, we want to build an association with the club, the brand and the locality."

Marras Rugby will launch a new range of supporters apparel as well as the replica shirts, with hoodies, polos, t-shirts and track pants all in the pipeline.

Haven general manager Amanda Hewer said: "We'd like to thank Billy and Dave for taking over the organisation of the strip.

"They've put a lot of their own money up and we really appreciate their support. We'd also like to say a big thank you to the sponsors.

"It's a really nice shirt, it's a bit different and a completely new colour as we've tried to modernise the away shirt. We'll still have a traditional home shirt."

The away shirt has been retained at £44.99. To pre-order the shirt, visit Farrell Sports, on High Street, Cleator Moor, or go to www.moorsports.co.uk
