Shock Doctor, the mouthguard and protective wear company, has signed the Harlequins rugby union captain Will Skinner (pictured) to be the face of the brand.

“The fit with Shock Doctor could not be better,” says Skinner. “In contact and at the breakdown, protection is paramount. It not only gives me the confidence I need to go in hard, but helps me deliver on performance. I could not be in better hands with Shock Doctor.

“Shock Doctor is one of those young, emerging brands at the cutting edge of their field. Playing at the top level of European rugby, I couldn’t ask for any more from the Shock Doctor range, and that’s why I couldn’t be happier to put my name behind them.”

Alex Kovacevic, brand and marketing manager for Shock Doctor, says: “With his experience in rugby across the board, from grass-roots to national and international games, Will is the perfect face of Shock Doctor.

“As the captain of Harlequins, he’s always leading from the front and is the first to the on-field action, which means he’s under constant physical pressure. This is the sort of high impact environment that Shock Doctor products thrive on, and with the technology we have applied to our gear, it becomes evident to the user that they have made the right choice.”
