The 14-piece line, includes rugby tops, t-shirts, polos, sports jumpers, joggers and hats in bold colours, and with British heritage detailing.


He said: "I am extremely proud of this boyswear collection, which for me really captures the spirit and ethos of the Raging Bull brand.

"It has been an honour to work in partnership with Marks & Spencer as one of the most well respected and admired retailers of our age and I am really looking forward to visiting the stores to see the range on display."

Flintoff by Jacamo goes on sale at
