Salford Red Devils tie down Paul Rowley to long term deal alongside assistant

Salford have done some smart business today in retaining Head Coach Paul Rowley and Assistant Kurt Haggerty on three year deals.

The deal – which lasts until 2025 – will allow the pair to build on last season’s success and plan long-term ambitions with the current playing squad.

After introducing an exciting brand of attacking rugby across 2022, Rowley and Haggerty guided the Red Devils to the Betfred Super League play-offs before being narrowly beaten by eventual champions, St Helens in the semi-final – achievements that meant Rowley was subsequently nominated for Super League Coach of the Year.

Rowley, in reaction to signing his new deal, said: “I’m very grateful for the the belief and trust placed in me to lead the team going forward and I am privileged to be a part of a fantastic group who will continue to work hard and give 100% commitment to the cause.

“Thanks to everybody who supported myself and the team and look forward to seeing you all next season. Thanks, Rolls.”

Haggerty also added: “I am delighted to have extended my contract with the club for the next three years. We have a great group of players and staff who are a pleasure to work with everyday.

“We all share a common goal of wanting to win trophies and bring a successful winning brand to Salford.”
