CLUB GRANT KEN SIO RELEASE ON COMPASSIONATE GROUNDS

We can confirm that the club have granted Ken Sio his release from Salford Red Devils on compassionate grounds, bringing to an end a magnificent five-year stay at the club.

Adored by the fanbase and well-respected by all his teammates, Sio has been a consistent, high-quality performer for the Red Devils since his move from the Newcastle Knights in late-2018.

He has scored a staggering 78 tries in just 104 appearances, notching his 100th in the Betfred Super League during our clash away at Huddersfield Giants, earlier this year.

The 33-year-old has been our top try-scorer for three consecutive seasons and made two appearances in the Super League Dream Team.

He was also crowned the Super League’s top try-scorer in 2021.

His athleticism and incredible technical ability has been at the heart of so many big moments over the years and he leaves the club with the best wishes of everybody, as he returns home to be with his family.

Head Coach, Paul Rowley has said: “It was difficult to hear that Ken will not be returning to Salford.

“The whole group holds Kenny in such high regard and he has been a trusted friend to myself, and the group.

“We do however fully support Ken’s decision to give his full attention to his family and wish him, Vicky, and the twins the absolute best in the future.”

Director of Rugby and Operations, Ian Blease has added: “In such difficult circumstances, I would like to wish Ken and his family all the best.

“I would like to put on record a massive thank you for his professionalism and dedication during his five years at the club.

“He has been one of our finest signings over that period; an ultimate pro and someone I consider a very close friend.

“I know the supporters hold him in very high regard and his presence and energy around the place will be missed – a real legend of this club.”

Managing Director, Paul King has also added: “Kenny’s personal situation sadly changed quite dramatically since signing his extension only a few months ago, and it is with regret but understanding that we have accepted his request for release on compassionate grounds.

“Kenny has been a magnificent servant to the Club over the last five years and has given us all plenty of moments to celebrate.

“I’m sure I join everyone in saying thank you to Ken, and wish him and his family the very best of luck going forward.”

Everyone at Salford Red Devils would like to thank Ken for all his efforts during his time at the club and wish him and his family all the best.

Club statement: stadium update

The Club would like to provide an update in relation to developments to the situation with the Salford Stadium.

There remains confidence from the necessary parties that an agreement on the stadium could be reached in the first quarter of 2024.

Discussions remain ongoing surrounding a short-term agreement between the Club and Salford City Council in the mean time which we expect to have further clarity come the end of this month.

We’ll continue to provide updates on the full picture when appropriate to ensure supporters remain aware of the current state of play alongside the timelines that we are aware of.

SALFORD RED DEVILS LAUNCH 2024 HOME AND AWAY KIT

Salford Red Devils are delighted to release the 2024 home and away kit, in partnership with VX3.

Inspired by Les Diables Rouges, a nickname given to the Salford team of 1934, who undertook a two month visit to the south of France to help the fledgling game in the country establish itself.

The home jersey is a classic red; featuring a white collar and a red, white, and black pattern on the end of each sleeve.

The shirt is paired with white shorts and hooped red, white, and black socks.

Our 2024 away jersey is all black, with faded red streaks on the shoulders. The black shorts feature a red and white stripe on the sides, with the socks following a similar pattern.

Involved in the kit launch was skipper, Kallum Watkins, World Cup finalist, Tim Lafai and exciting new addition, Cade Cust.

Alongside the three members of the men’s first-team was Tamzin Corcoran and Summer Harris – two stars of our thriving women’s side.

CUST: “IT’S BEEN AN EASY TRANSITION!”

Cade Cust says he has enjoyed his first full week as a Salford Red Devils player.

The Aussie signed for the club after a two-year stint at Wigan Warriors, signing a one-year deal, with the option to extend his stay by a further season.

A powerful halfback, Cust will be hoping to kick-on his career with some regular game time, under the tutelage of Paul Rowley.

Speaking to our YouTube channel, Cust was asked what abilities he will be bringing to the squad during 2024.

“Definitely a running game,” he began.

“I think I’m a powerful six, so hopefully I can play plenty of games, stay on the pitch and get plenty of wins for the club – I’m really looking forward to it.

“One of the main things for me is playing consistent, week in, week out and putting points on the board.”

On his first week as a whole, the 25-year-old said: “It’s been very enjoyable.

“First week is obviously the hardest, so I feel like I’ve fit in really well with the players and the coaching staff.”

Cust has joined a very close-nit group; a bond that’s powered the team to some famous victories over the last 24 months.

“It’s been perfect,” he continued when discussing the group dynamic.

“Everyone has welcomed me and it’s been an easy transition. I knew a few boys from Wigan and a couple of the Aussie’s I get along really well with!”

ROUND 3 KICK-OFF CHANGE

There has been a slight kick-off change to our Betfred Super League Round 3 clash against Hull KR.

We will then lock horns with last year’s Challenge Cup finalists’, Hull KR, at the Salford Stadium.

Originally, the game was set to take place at 3pm on Saturday 2nd March. However, there has been a slight alteration to kick-off time, with the fixture now getting underway on the same day, at 5:30pm.

GRADY: “WE’RE IN IT TO WIN IT!”

The new Head Coach of Salford Red Devils Women, Mike Grady is ‘excited’ to get going in his new role and has set ambitions of achieving promotion back to the Betfred Women’s Super League.

Speaking for the first time since his appointment, Grady could not hide his delight at joining the club at such a promising time for the women’s game.

“Proud. Looking forward to it. Excited and just can’t wait to get going,” he began.

“The women’s game is massive at the moment, it’s being pushed really well, the coverage of it and I just can’t wait to get stuck into it!”

Grady is already vastly experienced at both club and international level. Most recently, he joined John Kear for a stint at Widnes Vikings, alongside becoming Head Coach of the Spanish National Team.

Now fully settled in his new role, Grady will be looking forward to next week’s trials and recruiting fresh talent.

These sessions on Monday and Wednesday are still available to attend, so please click HERE to access the sign-up form.

“First of all, we’re going to have a trial and see who’s out there and who can come in,” Grady continued.

“And just like any team, we’re going to get stuck into pre-season, work hard and we’ll set our goals to rip into the season in the best way we can.”

Our debut season in the Women’s Super League was a relatively successful one. A playoff spot was achieved, but a huge restructure of the competition means we will be competing at a lower level in 2024.

Grady, however, is determined that we bounce straight back: “We’re in it to win it.

“We’re going to push ourselves, we’re going to go for it and the aim is to go up, so we’ll be working hard in pre-season towards achieving that throughout the year.”

Another objective of his new role is to put a pathway in place for young girls to become the next stars of Salford Red Devils.

Work towards this has already started with the Foundation’s Girls Development Academy, but Grady is really keen to get involved and make his mark.

“We’re just looking to put pathways in place. I know a lot of the work goes on during the week at colleges in and around the area.

“So it’s just putting a pathway into place and showing there is something to reach for, to aim for and ultimately the first-team.”
