The nib Newcastle Knights have joined forces with Marvan Hotel Group for NRLW 2023, with the iconic hospitality operation taking pride of place on the top back of the Knights home and away jerseys and training kit for the season ahead.
The Knights home strip will feature the name of Marvan’s local flagship, Cooks Hill’s Hotel Delany, which also appears on the Knights training kit.
The Marvan Hotel Group brand will appear on the Knights away jersey, providing exposure at games in Sydney and Canberra over the course of the home and away rounds.
Known for its commitment to excellence and quality service in the hospitality industry, Marvan brings a wealth of experience and a strong reputation to this partnership.
"We are excited and proud to announce our partnership with the Newcastle Knights NRL Women's Team, a team that is leading the charge for Women In Sport and helping Newcastle grow," Marvan Hotel Group General Manager Stephen Harband said.
"As a local venue with strong patron support for the NRL and Newcastle Knights, we are delighted to support such an honest, hardworking, ambitious, and talented group of individuals.
