Here are two ASX-ready paragraphs:

HITIQ Limited (ASX: HIQ) is pleased to announce the appointment of NRL halfback Jamal Fogarty as a Brand Ambassador for the 2026 NRL season. Fogarty is a current Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles playmaker and one of rugby league’s respected senior leaders, having previously led the Canberra Raiders to the 2025 NRL Minor Premiership before signing with Manly for the 2026 season. A proud Mununjali man of the Yugambeh people, and a representative of the Indigenous All Stars and Prime Minister’s XIII, Fogarty brings a powerful combination of elite performance, community connection and grassroots credibility to HITIQ’s athlete safety platform.

Fogarty’s appointment strengthens HITIQ’s strategy to expand awareness and adoption of its PROTEQT™ Smart Mouthguard System across rugby league, from junior and community participation through to the elite game. Under the agreement, Fogarty will support HITIQ through media activity, social content and brand promotion, helping educate athletes, parents, coaches and clubs on the importance of head impact monitoring and brain health in contact sport. The partnership further reinforces HITIQ’s mission to make elite-level athlete safety technology more accessible to grassroots players and families across Australia.
