We can confirm Rhys Williams and James Greenwood will depart Salford Red Devils upon expiry of their contracts.
Both have made significant contributions to the team – in some big moments – and will be remembered fondly by everyone associated with the club.
Williams in particular has been a classy operator since joining Salford from London Broncos ahead of the 2020 season.
The Welshmen helped the club reach their first Challenge Cup Final in 51 years and scored a fantastic, length of the field try in that very fixture against Leeds Rhinos.
An established international, Williams has gone on to score 22 tries and so often been a reliable, hard-working winger over his four seasons at the club.
Greenwood is another player who played a vital role in our run to the 2020 Challenge Cup final.
He started that game in the back-row and scored a try on 59-minutes that fired the Red Devils into a dream lead at Wembley Stadium.
Although his last few years at the club have been hampered by injuries, Greenwood has showed glimpses of the quality he posses and leaves with our absolute best wishes.
Head Coach, Paul Rowley has said: “On behalf of all of the lads, we thank them for their contributions to the group and their friendship during their time at Salford.
“We wish them the best of luck for the future!”
Director of Rugby & Operations, Ian Blease has added: “I would like to put on record and say a very much heartfelt thank you to both Rhys and James for their service, dedication and professionalism whilst they have both been with us at Salford Red Devils.
“Both players have served rugby league and Super League greatly; who can forget that they were both were try scorers in our 2020 Challenge Cup final appearance, with both giving everything on the pitch from the moment they joined the club.
“I send James & Rhys – and their respective families – our best wishes for the future; they will always be very welcome back to the Salford Stadium!”
The club remains in conversation with other players whose contracts are to expire this year. Further updates will be shared when appropriate.
