Salford have lost another two key players.
Salford Red Devils star Ryan Brierley has said he is gutted losing two of his closest friends and key players, as Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers, make the move to Leeds Rhinos.
The revelation of their transfer to Headingley Stadium, with Leeds reportedly paying around £300,000 for their services, has left Brierley and the Salford faithful reeling. The departure of Croft and Ackers follows Tyler Dupree's earlier mid-season transfer to the Wigan Warriors, compounding the club's financial concerns.
There are also rumours of other key players, like Oli Partington, potentially exploring opportunities with different teams, further adding to the Red Devils' worries heading into the 2024 season.

In a heartfelt post, he wrote, "Damn, this is devastating. This is the sh*t side of sport, not just losing players but losing best mates. I know how hard this was for both of them, so I hope they go on to achieve great things at an unbelievable club, and I hope our fans share the same sentiments for both of them.
