Wasps will sign a Covenant with the British Armed Forces tomorrow.

The rugby club will pledge its support to the military services at half-time when they play Northampton Saints at the Ricoh Arena.

A military village will be on show for fans outside the stadium tomorrow.

We're always looking for ways in which we can have a positive impact across different areas of the community, so we're delighted to have forged this relationship with the Armed Forces, who we proudly support.

This marks the start of what we hope will be a long-lasting association and we look forward to seeing the relationship evolve over the coming years.

– Wasps' deputy chairman, Nick Eastwood

The Military in the Midlands are delighted to be signing the Armed Forces Covenant with Wasps.

This is the beginning of a close relationship with the club and will see not only annual Military Match days here at the Ricoh Arena, but regular interactive leadership and team building training between Wasps and the Military Community and regular outreach exercises with the local Community.

– Lt Col Richard Jones
