Adrian Morley becomes Foundation trustee

Salford Red Devils Foundation isย delightedย to welcome Adrian Morley and George Tapp to their Board of Trustees.

The Foundation is always looking for opportunities to strengthen its local linksย andย to ensure that the local community are best served by the organisation.

The first new trustee,ย Adrianย Morley,ย is a prominent figure within theย rugby leagueย world bothย in Australia and the UK.ย As aย legend of the game and a successful businessman,ย Morleyย is well placed to help guide the Foundation as it embarks on new and exciting programmesย to help the local community.

Morley said: โ€œComing from the area and being a very proudย Salfordian, Iโ€™m delighted to be a part of the foundation.

โ€œThe more Salford kids we can get playing the sport, the better. Fingers crossed thereโ€™s a few rough diamonds out there that we can help to bring through.

โ€œAll the donations and fundraisers are very much appreciated and we just couldnโ€™t function without these generous people so please keep donating.โ€

The second new trusteeย isย George Tappย whoย is aย formerย Salfordย Cityย Councillor for theย Ordsallย ward who continues toย make an impact in the Salford areaย throughย hisย involvement with employment and the Unite trade union. George isย passionate about providing opportunities for Salford residents and has muchย experience ofย local infrastructure that will benefit the Foundation.

Tapp said: โ€œAs a lifelong Salford RLFC supporterย andย proudย Salfordian,ย I am extremely proud and excited to be joining the Board ofย Trustees on the Salford Red Devils Foundation.

โ€œIย look forward to playing myย part in raising awareness of the Foundationย andย helping to source income to ensure thatย theย fantastic programmes can continue.โ€

These new trusteesย bring with themย a wealth of knowledge and experienceย andย have expressed their excitement at joining the team.ย In suchย unprecedentedย times it has never been more important forย Salford Red Devils Foundationย toย continue to deliver its array of outstanding community programmes in Salford and across Greater Manchester.

Both new trustees have unmatched local knowledge and can help to ensure the maximum impact is achieved within the local community.ย Salford Red Devils Foundation would like to thank the whole Board of Trustees for their continued support and guidance as it continues to inspire the community through Sport, Health and Education.

Foundation Director Neil Blackburn said:ย โ€œIย am thrilled toย welcomeย both trustees to a board that is already filled withย a wealth of experience that has helped ensure Salford Red Devils Foundationย hasย been able toย serviceย its communityย forย over a decade.

โ€œEnsuring that we have passionate,ย locally-basedย trusteesย guaranteesย that all our programmes and initiatives are fully focused on providing opportunities for the local needsย and I look forward to working with both George and Adrian.โ€

Echoing Adrian Morley, it is important to thank all our funders and donors who continue to help us provide outstanding community programmes for allย that help reduceย disparity,ย ensuring that the most vulnerable in society are given the opportunities and support they deserve and need.

Martin Gleeson – "It's going to be a special night"

Salford Red Devils Assistant Coach Martin Gleeson, speaking to Rugby AM, feels his testimonial Lancashire vs Yorkshire match is going to be a โ€˜special nightโ€™.
Gleeson said: โ€œLancashire vs Yorkshire, I was lucky enough to play back in 2002 which Lancashire won, by the way.
โ€œItโ€™s going to be a special night everyone is doing work behind the scenes getting ready for this game itโ€™s not going to be a game of touch and pass put it that way.
โ€œThereโ€™s some big names lining up for both teams with bags of international experience and bags of Super League winner rings, Lance Toddโ€™s โ€“ you name it.
โ€œThe teams are going to be littered with stars from the past who you probably wonโ€™t get to see again. Itโ€™s going to be a great occasion.
โ€œWeโ€™ve got Sam Tomkins who is going to be coaching the Lancashire team heโ€™s going to put us through a few drills and head that side of things up for us.โ€
Both sides have been calling each other out on social media with Lancashireโ€™s Paul Wood and Yorkshireโ€™s Wayne Godwin at the centre of the sledging.
Gleeson said: โ€œThereโ€™s a lot of banter going around on social media namely from Wagga [Wayne Godwin] who I think out of all the accolades that people have won who are going to be playing that night I donโ€™t think Waggaโ€™s won anything โ€“ not one trophy.
โ€œI think this match gives him his opportunity to win his first trophy I think so I think the pressure will get to him when he gets out there and he realises whatโ€™s at stake.
โ€œWeโ€™ve got Mozza [Adrian Morley] and Barrie Mac [Barrie McDermott] whoโ€™ve been watching those videos and the calling out that Waggaโ€™s been doing theyโ€™ll probably keep quiet on social media and leave it until the Wednesday night on the 30th.โ€
