Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: "Following last summer's tour of North America, we are looking forward to taking the team back to mainland Europe this July.

"The facilities in place for this trip are exceptional and this will not only provide a great experience for our players, but also act as an excellent platform for the team ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

"We hope this will be an accessible trip for many of our fans and that they can attend to support the team, whilst also enjoying the region. In addition, we also plan to host a range of activities during pre-season – locally and overseas – to bring our fans closer to our team.”

Supporter travel packages for the trip are available. More information can be found HERE.
