SALFORD RED DEVILS CONFIRM RESERVES SQUAD FOR 2025

We are thrilled to confirm our Reserves squad for the 2025 season.

Seventeen players have been named, with promising talent from our Elite Academy able to supplement the team when needed.

As ever, the set-up allows players from our first grade to earn valuable minutes and improve fitness levels upon returning from an injury.

The majority of 2024’s group have stayed together, including six of the seven young players who made their Betfred Super League debuts last season.

Charlie Glover – the seventh member of that group – has already made the step-up to Paul Rowley’s first grade squad during pre-season.

Two success stories of our Development Academy – Jimmy Shields and Sean Murray – are now with the Reserves squad on a permanent basis and will play prominent roles in 2025.

On his latest cohort of talent, Head Coach, Stuart Wilkinson has said: “Change can be subtle and usually happens incrementally, and for the first time since the club relaunched the reserves, we have players who have made their Super League debuts.

“While they’ve still plenty to do to establish themselves it’s an exciting year ahead for these lads with destiny in their own hands. 2024 cohort have certainly incentivised the rest of the group.”
