OXEN Sports is delighted to announce that rugby union star Billy Vunipola has extended his relationship with the brand for a further year.
The new agreement will see Billy continue as an official OXEN athlete, representing the brand while providing valuable insight and feedback to support the continued development of OXEN’s high-performance rugby footwear.
Since joining OXEN, Billy has worked closely with the team and worn the brand’s rugby boots while competing at the highest level of the game. The extension reflects the strength of the relationship established between Billy and OXEN, as well as a shared commitment to performance, comfort and innovation.
One of the most recognisable players of his generation, Billy has represented England on more than 70 occasions and played an important role in multiple Six Nations campaigns and England’s journey to the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final.
At club level, the powerful number eight has won four Premiership titles and three European Rugby Champions Cups with Saracens along with lifting the Challenge Cup with Montpellier last season, building a reputation for his physicality, ball-carrying ability and influence both on and off the field.
Billy Vunipola said: “I’ve really enjoyed working with OXEN over the past year and building a strong relationship with the team.
“At this stage of my career, every aspect of preparation matters, and footwear plays a significant part in making sure I can perform at my best. I’ve been impressed by the comfort, technology and support within the OXEN range, so I’m pleased to be extending the partnership for another year.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to represent the brand and helping the team develop products designed around the demands of professional rugby.”
Lee Jenkinson, CEO at OXEN Sports, said: “Billy has been a brilliant athlete for OXEN and we’re delighted that he has agreed to extend his relationship with us for a further year.
“His experience and understanding of what players need from their footwear is incredibly valuable. He has competed and succeeded at the very highest level of rugby, so his feedback helps us continue to challenge and improve our products.
“Billy represents the power, resilience and uncompromising performance we want OXEN to stand for. We’re proud to continue working alongside him and look forward to building on what we have achieved together so far.”
The extension underlines OXEN’s commitment to developing lasting relationships with leading athletes and creating products shaped by the real demands of the professional game.
