We are delighted to confirm Charlie Glover has made the step up to the first-grade squad.
The prop forward made his Betfred Super League debut in our Round 27 clash with Wigan Warriors last season, but will now become a permanent part of the set-up in 2025.
Glover began playing rugby league in Widnes, progressing through the ranks at Halton Farnworth Hornets, before signing for the Vikings’ Scholarship programme in 2019.
Aged 16, he first became involved with Salford Red Devils at the Foundation’s Rising Stars programme in 2020.
Showing plenty of promise, he quickly progressed through the Development Academy and into our Reserve grade set-up – where he has been a key member of the team for over three years.
The 19-year-old has also earned international recognition with Wales, where he represented his country at U17s, 18s and 19s level.
On training with the first-grade squad on a regular basis, Glover has said: “I am really grateful and lucky for the opportunity that the Club has provided me to make the step up to the first team,
“It is something I have always dreamed of doing and now to have the chance is really special for me, but the hard work starts again, and I am looking forward to the tough work in pre-season ready for hopefully what is a successful season to come.
“A big thanks to all coaches who have helped me get to where I am from – starting with the Development Academy and then through to Reserves.”
Head Coach, Paul Rowley has added: “Having Charlie join the squad is a clear sign of our Club’s commitment to giving young players a pathway at Salford Red Devils.
“It’s been an exciting couple of weeks as our pathway starts to work on producing a talented cohort of youngsters it’s important that somebody like Charlie stands as a great example of patience, perseverance and sacrifice.
“He’s a pleasure to work with and it’s fulfilling for myself and the club to reward Charlie by giving him the opportunity he thoroughly deserves.”
