Salford to Field Nine Loan Players for Hull FC Clash

A winding-up petition has frozen the club's accounts, forcing reliance on emergency loan recruits to fulfill fixtures.

Overview

  • Salford have lost 13 players this season, including Ryan Brierley, Jack Ormondroyd, Chris Hill and Chris Hankinson, due to unpaid wages and mounting debts.
  • Their accounts are frozen under a winding-up petition from HM Revenue and Customs, with a hearing adjourned until September 3.
  • An 18-man lineup, including nine emergency loan players from Leeds, St Helens, Wigan and Warrington, has been named for Sunday's fixture at Hull FC under an RFL dispensation.
  • Non-playing staff remain unpaid and operational bills—such as coach travel and kit laundering—continue to go unsettled.
  • Supporters’ group ‘the 1873’ is demanding transparency from the club’s ownership, with the RFL seeking sustainable solutions ahead of the September hearing.
