London, High Wycombe, UK – December 8, 2009: WIN plc, a leading provider of interactive information and entertainment to mobile phones, today confirmed it had entered a partnership with Harlequins Rugby League team – London’s only Super League Club.

WIN specialises in providing services for mobile telephone users – including interactive games, live voting, music distribution, videos and news delivery.  During the coming season, WIN will work with Harlequins Rugby League to develop exciting new ways for fans to interact and engage with the club using both mobile phones and the internet.
