New Balance Signs Kasper Schmeichel

New Balance has announced the signing of Premier League winning Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

For the start of the new 2016/17 season, the title winning Dane will be wearing the latest New Balance Furon boots alongside the new Bright Cherry Furon goalkeeper gloves.

The stopper becomes the first Premier League goalkeeper to join New Balance.

Upon finalising his deal with New Balance, Kasper commented: “New Balance is one of the most exciting brands in football at the moment and I’m thrilled to be joining the team. My biggest goal for next season is to keep improving my game and I’m excited to work with New Balance to do this. I can’t wait to represent the brand as we defend the Premier League title and play some of the best teams in Europe in the new season.”

General manager of New Balance, Richard Wright, added: “We are delighted to have a player of Kasper’s calibre join us here at New Balance. He was a crucial part of Leicester City’s title winning campaign last season – a campaign that will be talked about for years to come.

“His determination and drive to succeed make him an excellent addition to our roster of players. Our players are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re looking forward to working with Kasper to further develop our range of goalkeeper products.”
