Salford Red Devils’ overseas quota standing after making five signings for 2025

Salford Red Devils are now, consistently, one of the better performing sides in Super League.

Under Paul Rowley, they’ve been improving year on year, and in 2024, they finished above high profile clubs such as Leeds Rhinos and St Helens to take home fourth place.

However, they fell at the first play-off hurdle to Leigh Leopards, one of the form sides in the second half of the season, and are now set to look towards another season where they aim to finally take some silverware.

The Red Devils have made some strong signings as they prepare for the 2025 campaign, with Chris Hill, Joe Bullock, Justin Sangare, Matt Davis and Esan Marsters joining the club. With that in mind, here’s how the club’s overseas quota situation is looking.

Salford Red Devils quota situation ahead of 2025

Cade Cust’s contract was up at the end of the 2024 season. With the club having a one-year extension option, he could have stayed on, but has joined Hull FC.

Conversely, Loghan Lewis had his own option triggered, so he’ll remain with the side for next year.

Tim Lafai has one more year on his contract after joining for the 2022 season, and his contract is up at the same time as Jayden Nikorima‘s.

Longer contracts are in the hands of Australian second-row duo Sam Stone and Shane Wright, who are contracted through 2026.

The longest contracts of the current quota players, however, belong to Nene Macdonald – as he has another three years left on his four-year deal signed in October last year – and new signing Esan Marsters from Huddersfield Giants.

This means all seven spots are full – so they can’t make any new overseas recruits unless someone is let go from their contract.
