What is Andy Murray’s sponsor? Tennis superstar not wearing Under Armour at Wimbledon

Andy Murray will be showcasing his talents at Wimbledon yet again and there’ll be one noticeable difference in the Brit superstar – his kit.

Murray, a two-time champion at the All England Club, will continue his comeback from injury by playing doubles at this summer’s tournament.

The 32-year-old was nearly forced to retire due to a hip problem but he won at Queen’s recently and will now take another crack at Wimbledon glory.

He won in 2013 to end Britain’s long wait for a champion and claimed his second title three years later.

Murray donned an adidas kit during his first triumph and wore Under Armour when lifting the trophy in 2016.

But that has all changed now with Murray wearing a new sponsor these days.

What is Andy Murray’s sponsor?

In March this year, Murray signed a new long-term deal with British sportswear start-up Castore.

The deal is worth an estimated £8million over eight years and comes from a company founded in 2016 by the Beahon brothers.

Phil Beahon is a former top-level cricketer, while his brother Tom was a footballer with lower league side Tranmere Rovers.

They have now formed the company Castore and signed up Murray.

The tennis superstar penned the deal after being struck by the commitment of the Beahons and the company’s sustainable approach.

Murray said: “It’s strange for me because I never see myself as a brand.

“I see myself as an athlete and as an individual first and foremost and that was always my number one priority. But I hope [Castore] is right and I hope I can make a difference.

“I hope I can help with [Castore’s future sales]. It’s one of the reasons why both of us decided to enter into the agreement with each other. I hope I can add some value.”
