Greg Burke will stay at Salford Red Devils, after signing a two-year contract extension.
In his first two full seasons at the The Salford Stadium, Burke appeared in the Betfred Super League Grand Final and the Coral Challenge Cup Final. That is an impressive record with the Red Devils, which he will now look to carry into next seasonย and beyond.
Burke said: โTo do what weโve done in two years has been unreal.
โWeโve gone from the middle-eights to reaching the Grand Final and the Challenge Cup Final and now weโve got to keep competing.
He added: โIโve had some great memories here. I remember that semi-final win at Wigan felt like a home game, especially when the fans cheered at Mossop going over.
โThatโs something that will stay with me forever, so weโre really excited to have them back with us next year.โ
The news of this extension follows yesterday’s announcement that Richard Marshall has been appointed as the new Salford Red Devils head coach, on a two-year contract.
Marshall said: โGregโs a tough, resilient player, whoโs proved himself to be an asset with ball in hand.
โFrom the reports Iโve had, heโs also the kind of character that every club needs, so Iโm looking forward to working with him.โ
Supporters can get behind both of them, by purchasing 2021ย season ticketsย early. Adultย prices have been reduced across all areas, making it even more affordable to watch Marshall’s side in action. Further details can be found HERE.
Elsewhere in the pack, it was also confirmed recently that Sebastine Ikahihifo will join up with the squadย once again in 2021.
Director of rugby and operations Ian Blease said: โGreg came here with a point to prove and has become an important part of our group.
โThis season, I think heโs really shown how much he contributes when the team is under pressure, particularly in those tight Challenge Cup ties.
โHeโs one of the personalities that has helped us build the constructive environment we have here, so weโre really pleased that both he and the Club will now continue to grow together, over the next couple of years.โ
