Vaughn van Jaarsveld gets vehicle sponsorship from Ariva

Vaughn van Jaarsveld, an up-and-coming South African cricketer who currently plays for the Dolphins as a left-handed batsman and occasional wicket keeper, has concluded a sponsorship deal with vehicle leasing company, Ariva.

He made his international debut for South Africa in a Twenty20 International against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 11 January 2009.

"Van Jaarsveld is an exciting new talent in South African cricket and we are proud to be associated with him," says David Smith, MD of Ariva. "Our agreement includes sponsoring him a branded vehicle and branding his cricket bat.

"As a new market entrant ourselves, having launched into South Africa in January last year, the company is clearly demonstrating its own talent within the motoring segment. This partnership is great synergy for our brand and we are delighted to be supporting young talent, who like ourselves is a professional and dedicated to achieving success. We believe that this young cricketer will continue to flourish in his career as well as do the brand proud."

According to van Jaarsveld, "I am pleased to be associated with the brand and look forward to a fruitful partnership. With this sponsorship I am guaranteed reliable transport to and from games with plenty room for my kit, and I look forward to driving my new Hyundai."
