The fleet operator is replacing Engage Mutual, which was sponsor for seven years. Further details of the sponsorship deal will be announced later this week.

Previous sponsors of the Super League include Tetleys and sports brand JJB.

Eddie Stobart has signed a sponsorship agreement to run until at least 2015.

In April last year, Engage ended its title sponsorship of the Super League.

Engage terminated the deal as it thought sport no longer fitted with its strategy of targeting the over-50s market.
