Super League have announced they have entered a partnership with pizza company Papa John’s.

The deal will see Papa John’s name featured alongside Super League branding on various channels, while they will also provide players with post-match food while games are played behind closed doors.

Super League chief commercial officer Rhodri Jones said: “It’s great to be partnering with Papa John’s during the behind closed doors period, and it’s important to be able to provide our players with the chance to refuel after a tough game.

“As we have seen since the restart, Betfred Super League games are getting faster and harder and I know the players are grateful when they see so many pizzas to choose from after a tough 80 minutes.”

Papa John’s marketing director Giles Codd added: “We are delighted to be partnering with the Betfred Super League this season.

“Ensuring the players and officials are fed safely post-match is paramount and our teams are well-drilled in safely delivering fresh, hot and tasty pizza after successfully adapting to the situation we find ourselves in during this global pandemic.

“We wish all the players and everyone at the Super League the best for the season and we can’t wait until venues can be reopened to let the fans back in to watch top-flight rugby league.”
