Canterbury returns to Wests
From the 2027 season, Canterbury returns to Wests, kitting out every team from our U6s right through to the Old Boars. The partnership runs for three seasons, S27 to S29, and it starts with a decision we’re handing to you: which jersey we run out in.

From the club and Canterbury
“As Treasurer, my focus throughout the tender process was balancing quality with commercial value for the entire club. Partnering with an established brand like Canterbury secures fixed price certainty over three seasons, while ensuring proceeds from our club store are reinvested directly back into Wests. It’s a sustainable financial outcome that supports our Juniors, Pathways, Men’s and Women’s programs, while also delivering quality, affordable gear for our supporters.”
Brett Attrill, Treasurer, Wests Scarborough Rugby Union
“Wests is a club with real history and a proud community, and we’re delighted to be part of its next chapter. We look forward to delivering kit that every Wests player is proud to pull on.”
Brendan Underwood, Canterbury (School Locker)
How we got here
When our previous apparel agreement came to an end, the Executive Committee chose to run a full, open tender rather than simply roll it over. We wanted the best result for players and families, and a process the whole club could trust.
- Eleven brands responded to the club’s brief.
- The assessors scored every submission independently against weighted criteria set before any submission arrived: pricing for players and families, quality, service, range and return to the club.
- Three brands were shortlisted. Samples were tested against our maroon and gold, and each finalist submitted a final offer in writing on identical terms.
- On 9 September, the Executive Committee unanimously appointed Canterbury.
Thank you, O’Neills
For six seasons, O’Neills has dressed our teams on the field, at training and in the stands. They were a valued partner throughout, and their place in the final round was earned on merit. On behalf of every player, coach and volunteer, thank you.
Canterbury teamwear is supplied by School Locker, Canterbury’s licensed teamwear partner, with a dedicated account manager looking after the club.
