Hull KR's Jack Broadbent gets hands on Paris Saint-Germain star's shirt as Amsterdam trip begins
Hull Kingston Rovers' Jack Broadbent enjoyed seeing classic European football shirts, worn by the players themselves, at the start of a visit to Amsterdam.
Broadbent and head coach Willie Peters have jetted out to the Dutch capital to strengthen ties with the country, where they will play the Amsterdam Challenge match against York Knights on January 25. The pair went to visit the office of one of their business partners - MatchWornShirts - where they got to see some famous jerseys.
The versatile Rovers player enjoyed getting his hands on a Paris Saint-Germain shirt worn by France winger Ousmane Dembele - and trying his hands at darts elsewhere in their office. He also appreciated seeing the Valencia appeal shirts on display and jerseys from the German Bundesliga. As well as partnering with Rovers, MatchWornShirt works with some of the biggest football clubs in Europe, such as PSG.

The sold-out fixture takes place at the NRCA Stadium, which will also be the host venue for Rovers' match against York. Following the match, they will return home with pre-season, starting with testing, due to commence on Monday 25 November.
