Salford Red Devils are a 100+ year old rugby league football club based in Manchester. Their home ground – Salford City Stadium – holds a 12,000 capacity and they play at the highest club level, The Super League.

This season has seen a new owner Marwan Koukash take over and invest heavily in the club, the site development and the playing team (8 new top level signings).
