Young forward Owen Haldenby, released by Super League outfit Hull FC, is among the latest trio of players signed by Salford RLFC for 2026.
After advancing through Hull’s development systems and making significant appearances at the academy and reserve levels over the previous few years, Prop Haldenby was let go by the team at the end of the 2025 season.
Having not recorded a first-team appearance during his time at the MKM Stadium or been sent out on loan, he still awaits his senior debut in the game: and will get that this year in a Salford shirt, all being well.
The new Salford phoenix club, whose 2026 Championship campaign begins on January 16 at home against Oldham, now have 15 players signed up for the season ahead in total.
