Declan James Signs 2-Year Deal With Eye

England’s Declan James, the 28-year-old world number 25, has signed a new 2-year sponsorship agreement with Eye Rackets that will see him use the Eye Rackets V.Lite 120 racket in all competition play and continue to wear the brand’s flag-ship S-Line shoes.

Since first assuming the mantle of England’s number one player in 2019, James has worn Eye’s S-Line Shoes and will now match those with the impressive V.Lite 120 Rackets as he hopes to add to his tally of 13 PSA world tour titles to date.

James said: “I am pleased to continue my partnership with Eye Rackets and to take that relationship one step further by playing with their V.Lite rackets for the forthcoming years. Eye has been a great brand to partner with during the past few years and I am looking forward to working closer with them as I continue to climb up the PSA World Rankings.”

Eye Brand ambassador Joey Barrington said: “Declan is a tremendous squash player who is both physically impressive and mentally astute and he has been knocking at the door of the very top of the game for the past few years. Eye Rackets looks forward to being by his side for what promises to be a bright future.”

Dynamic 7 Sport founder Daryl Selby said: "Great to facilitate an extension of Eye’s partnership with Declan to include him using their V.Lite rackets as well. Eye have been extremely supportive of Declan and are a great fit for his style and image. I’m sure he will continue to be a fantastic ambassador for them in the years to come."
