Fulham’s Clint Dempsey Inks Deal with American Watch Brand

Highly touted Fulham midfielder, Clint Dempsey has signed a partnership with American watch brand, Jorg Gray.

The all-time leading American goalscorer in the English Premier League, joins the Jorg Gray family in the midst of the Fulham FC season just before the highly anticipated match between the U.S. Men’s National Team and Italy on February 29.

Recognized as one of the most talented US players in his sport, Dempsey continually garners the respect of the soccer world with his unstoppable scoring ability and charismatic personality. With over 18 goals already logged in 2012, Dempsey is currently the seventh leading scorer in the league for a single season and boasts an unprecedented two hat tricks in competition. Additionally, the attacking midfielder has scored more goals than any other player since the 2010 World Cup and holds the record for the fastest goal in U.S. history.

“Soccer is about passion, heart and being true to what you stand for,” said Dempsey. “Jorg Gray has grown their incredible brand of watches with a passion for the craft and a strong belief in no compromises. I look forward to promoting Jorg Gray on and off the field.”

As the newest face of Jorg Gray, Dempsey will appear at retailers around the globe as he showcases Jorg Gray’s entire collection. A limited edition timepiece will be introduced to the market in the coming months — incorporating the style and attitude of the world’s leading footballer.

“We are eager to watch Clint build upon his incredible momentum during the rest of the soccer season,” said Trevor Gnesin, president of Jorg Gray. “His creativity and instincts on the field make him an indisputable fit for the Jorg Gray brand. We’re proud to have him on our team and look forward to this amazing opportunity to work with a world-class athlete at the top of his game.”
