Gameloft, a developer and publisher of games for mobile phones, announced that it has obtained exclusive rights to use New Orleans Saints running back, Reggie Bush, as a cover athlete for a football simulation game for mobile phones. Bush will be featured in Gameloft's upcoming title, Reggie Bush Pro Football 2007.

"We are incredibly excited to join forces with Reggie to develop an exhilarating game that will finally bring the excitement of football to mobile." said Michel Guillemot, president, Gameloft. "Football is a classic American pastime, however mobile players have been disappointed by most of the games that are currently out there. Reggie Bush Pro Football 2007 will not only reflect his incredible talent, but also bring a realistic game that is stamped with Gameloft's signature touch to the market."

"I'm thrilled Gameloft chose me to be the cover athlete for their new mobile football game," said Reggie Bush. "It will be cool to practice my moves on my cell phone before a game."

Reggie Bush is a key player for the New Orleans Saints, a Heisman Trophy winner and the number two 2006 NFL Draft pick. Bush joins the ranks of Derek Jeter, Vijay Singh, Lleyton Hewitt and others in Gameloft's expanding sports portfolio.
