We are delighted to reveal the signing of England international, Chris Hill on a one-year deal.
The highly experienced prop will reinforce our forward pack for the 2025 Betfred Super League season, joining Esan Marsters and Sam Davis as our third off-season signing.
Hill began his professional career at Leigh Centurions (now Leopards) in 2005, making his first senior appearance against St Helens.
During his six-year stint with the Leythers, Hill racked up 160 appearances, scoring 35 times and captaining the club on numerous occasions.
Joining Warrington Wolves on a three-year deal, the prop enjoyed instant success in the 2012 Challenge Cup Final, where he was part of the team that beat Leeds Rhinos 18-35.
Hill was an integral part of the Wire’s pack for 10 seasons, competing in multiple Super League Grand Finals among his 296 appearances.
He also tasted Challenge Cup glory for a second time in 2019, when Warrington defied the odds to beat St Helens 18-4 at Wembley Stadium.
Most recently, the 36-year-old has spent three years as a regular starter for Huddersfield Giants, taking his total number of appearances to over 550 for club and country
Speaking of international representation, Hill has represented his country 37 times, with a further four appearances coming in a Great Britain jersey.
His vast amount of experience, especially on the biggest stage will be a huge asset to our dressing room in 2025 and he will link up with his new teammates once pre-season training gets underway.
On joining the Red Devils, Hill has said: “I am really happy to join Salford and can’t wait to get going in pre-season.
“Paul and his staff have built something special, and I want to help the younger players in the dressing room by passing on any experience I can.
“I’m looking forward to pulling on a red shirt next year and running out in front of a passionate set of supporters.”
Head Coach, Paul Rowley has added: “I am delighted that Chris is joining the Reds for the upcoming season.
“He is a consummate professional who plays to a consistently high level and will bring experience, leadership and quality to our forwards.
“I know Chris very well and aside from his playing qualities, he is a fantastic character that will fit into our group perfectly.”
Everybody at the Club is excited to have Chris onboard for 2025 and look forward to seeing him pull on a red shirt very soon.
