Six years strong: Hull KR and Connexin extend partnership

Hull KR and Hull-based Smarter Technology and Internet Service Provider, Connexin are delighted to announce a further two-year extension to their partnership.

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 a Platinum Partner of the club. Connexin will also appear on the sleeves of the Robins' warm-up jerseys.

Hull KR Chief Executive, Paul Lakin is delighted to extend the partnership and said “The extended partnership with Connexin is very 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, who have become real friends, and now fans of the club. We were all so proud that 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. They are brilliant partners for the club.”

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.

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with the Robins. Four years ago we made the decision to back the Club as Principal Partners at a time of real change and uncertainty.

Over the past four years, we’ve worked closely with the team and are proud to have been part of its trophy winning transformation. We have shared some unforgettable moments with the club and it’s fans which will continue in to 2026 when the Club plays in Las Vegas. We can’t wait to be there, backing the Robins and being part of its incredible support.”

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.
