We are Edinburgh, together!

The University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Giants are delighted to announce a multi-year

partnership that will see The University become the official venue partner of the club.

The partnership which runs until 2027 will see the University of Edinburgh feature on the club’s new home and away kit in 2025 and also become the title partner of the newly established Giants Wheelchair Challenge.

The University will then work closely with the Edinburgh Giants around operational aspects,

including storage facilities for the sports chairs and other equipment at The Pleasance Sports Complex.

Mark Munro of The University of Edinburgh and Martyn Gill, founder of Edinburgh Giants.

Mark Munro, Director of Sport and Active Wellbeing of The University of Edinburgh said, “Weare delighted to partner with The Edinburgh Giants, a club who are pushing for top league status in Wheelchair Rugby League and to do it in a sustainable manner to ensure that they can stay there when they get there and it is a delight to be able to partner with them and help them on that journey. We will work closely with Martyn and the team and do all we can to assist them.”

Martyn Gill, Founder of the Giants, said on the deal, “This partnership is vital to the growth of our club, to have secured a venue partner over a 3-year period enables us to forward plan as we look to develop the club into hopefully as a Championship team initially with a longer term goal of making it into the Super League. This is a significant step for the club as part of

submitting an application for the Championship national league and we are excited to be

working alongside the University as we continue to develop.”
