Temsa is an international coach manufacturer based in Turkey and is enjoying rapid growth in the UK through an exclusive partnership with Yorkshire-based Arriva Bus and Coach.

The Temsa sponsorship will include the first team playing shorts and training kit with further announcements set to be made throughout the season.

Temsa UK sales manager Aykan Cavlak said: “We were working with Arriva Bus and Coach to find a sponsorship partner that could help us build on our growing success in the UK.

“Leeds Rhinos are the most successful club in the Super League era, but it was also important to us that they share our values of integrity and respecting tradition while also having a modern outlook and approach.
