Bristol Rugby has agreed a deal with Capita Symonds that will see the property consultancy become the teams main sponsor for the forthcoming 2010-11 season.

The new sponsorship deal will see Capita Symonds branding on the team's home and away shirt and official Bristol Rugby merchandise, as well as on banners and signage at the Memorial Stadium.

Capita Symonds, which has been the club's official partner sponsor since 2004, employs around 150 people in two Bristol offices at Portishead and Clifton.

Bristol Rugby CEO Steve Gorvett said: "Many of the shirt sponsors have increased their support of the club from last season which is a very positive sign. We've actually found that despite the disappointment of last season, we have had more commercial interest than previous years. It's a real sign of the standing of this club within the city and long may that continue."

Bristol Rugby currently plays in the English Championship, the second tier of the English Rugby Union structure.
