The
Egyptian maestro, four times World Champion and former world
number one, Amr Shabana, has signed a three year
contract with Eye.
A
Norwegian company, Eye was started in 2010. With a
relentless passion for squash, Eye believes the signing of a
modern day legend is welcome recognition for a brand that
likes to do things differently.
Joey Barrington, International Ambassador for Eye,
said:: "The brand is a breath of fresh air for the squash
market and signing a modern great is incredible. We have
two legends signed with us now, the other being Jonah
Barrington; you have the best of both worlds in past and
present!"
"Amr is the perfect player for us. With his style and
decorum on and off the court, he exudes class and shares our
obsession for all things squash. Our focus on future
generations and in supporting the grass-roots squash player
is what we are about. Amr has been at the forefront of
world squash for nearly two decades; he is a great
inspiration to us as a company."
"I
feel it was time for a change and this brand has a wonderful
future.
They have a cool approach with very clever racket
innovations that basically make the racket lighter, without
compromising on feel and touch.
Their rackets are perfect for my style of game; can’t wait
to unleash the fury on my way back to the top!”
"Squash is moving forward so quickly, in terms of media and
live television; it's great to be part of it.
"With the UK launch due in early 2014, this is an exciting
time for us," added Barrington. |
