Warrington Wolves CEO, Karl Fitzpatrick said: “We have been disturbed by the images of the devastation the fires have caused.
“We have many friends in Australia, it’s a country we have such a close affinity with. We wanted to pledge our support and show that all at Warrington Wolves and all our supporters are thinking of them. I’d like to thank O’Neills who are also making a donation for every T-shirt sold.”
