Shelbourne FC’s Head of Commercial Keith McDarby said: “We are really excited to have Diffney come on board as our official menswear partner. From the moment I met with Conor and Mark and shared our vision, it was clear to us that our brands aligned really well and this was the start of something exciting.”
“Diffney shares a lot of the core values of Shelbourne Football Club. I think this is going to be a great partnership moving forward and it’s another big statement from the club showing the direction we are moving.”
Diffney’s spokesperson said: “It’s a fantastic opportunity for us. Our model has always been built around our customers… More than just selling menswear, we try to create lasting relationships with our customers & establish a sense of community around the Diffney brand.
“We feel Shelbourne are a club that mirrors those values. For years, they have built deep rooted community ties, amongst fans, volunteers, local businesses and partners, so to be a part of that in 2022 is really great. It’s motivating to see the direction in which Keith and everyone else involved want to take the club and the opportunity to work side by side with great people at this exciting time for Shels is something we can be proud of.”
