Connectus Sponsors Doncaster Knights’ 150th Anniversary Season

Connectus Business Solutions, a leading Business Managed Services Partner, is today announcing a new sponsor partnership with the Doncaster Knights as the club enters its 150th Anniversary season.

In an exciting collaboration, Connectus will become a post-protector sponsor, and promote their branding with a banner on the Knights’ ClubHouse.  They will also sponsor Head Coach, Joe Ford, who is looking to guide the Knights to the top of the table this season.
