A successful partnership between Hull KR, Smarter Technology and Connexin is being extended for a further two years and will see the ISP backing the Robins across the 2026 and 2027 seasons as a Platinum Partner of the rugby club.
Connexin’s support of the club will evolve to a back of shirt position that will see Connexin literally backing the Robins across the 2026 and 2027 seasons as the company name Connexin will also appear on the sleeves of the Robins' warm-up jerseys.
Paul Lakin, Hull KR Chief Executive said: “The extended partnership with Connexin is welcomed news and will see our association reach six years, and hopefully beyond, in total.
“We always say, the hallmark of a good partnership is a renewal, it shows it works for both parties, and we’ve found a natural synergy with Connexin from day one.
“We love working with the co-founders, Alex and Furqan, and we were able to deliver on our promise to them, that they would see Hull KR lift trophies in a Connexin branded shirt. We look forward to continuing to raise their brand awareness and activating with us.”
In March, Connexin signed a strategic agreement with CityFibre, allowing them to roll out services nationally.
Furqan Alamgir, co-founder and CEO of Connexin, sees the continued partnership with Hull KR as key to raising awareness across the UK.
Connexin has played a key role in changing the broadband market in Hull since 2012, taking on the KCOM monopoly and building a full fibre network in the region to provide a choice for residents and businesses.
