Salford Red Devils are one of the Super League clubs in the market for transfers ahead of the new season.
The club have had a rough off season losing Ken Sio who was released on compassionate leave. The Red Devils are also reportedly set to lose Joe Burgess after a reported disciplinary incident.
This has left them in the market for a winger but also a prop to boost their forward pack. In a silver lining to their current woes is the opening of a quota spot after the loss of Ken Sio which opens the door for Salford to sign Ben Nakubuwai from Leigh Leopards.
The impressive prop is set to leave Leigh ahead of the new season according to reports with the club set to release him to sign Tristan Sailor.
Salford could very well make a move for the prop ahead of the new season which would be a lovely Christmas present for Salford fans.
But credit to Salford, members of the Salford Red Devils men’s and women’s team have been lending a hand at local charity, Home-Start Trafford, Salford & Wigan.
They are a locally run, voluntary organisation operating as an independent Charitable Company, strategically managed by a Board of Trustees, made up of local professional volunteers.
As the festive season gets into full swing, Home-Start have received some brilliant toy donations from local organisations and corporate partners.
They then had less than 24 hours to make up 200 sacks of toys to the children who they are currently supporting, before delivering to families in the hope of making Christmas less stressful for parents.
Adam Sidlow, Ollie Partington, Matty Foster, Summer Harris, Abi Collins and Laura Bent went down to their centre earlier last week to help organise and fill the sacks of presents.
Kathryn Eckersley, Managing Director of Home-Start has said: “Thank you on behalf of all the families for this year’s wonderful donations.
“We are very grateful too for the extra help we have received from the Salford Red Devils rugby players and their team, to get them all organised and ready to be delivered to the hundreds of children we are currently supporting.
“We are overwhelmed by people’s kindness and generosity, as one mum said: ‘The kids wont think I’ve been naughty this year because thanks to you there is now a little present under the tree for me too!”
Managing Director of Salford Red Devils, Paul King has added: “As a community club, we know how vital it is to help out local charities and organisations.
“Home-Start do some incredible things for families, especially at Christmas time, so it was a pleasure to get involved with their initiative, and great to see the players attend their centre earlier last week to help out.
“I urge anyone to check-out their services and find out how you can get involved.”
