Salford RLFC sign former Red Devils and Wigan Warriors' Super League Grand Finalist - United Kingdom News Beep

Salford RLFC have signed a player who represented the city’s former club, the Red Devils, in a Super League Grand Final as squad additions are made ahead of the 2027 season.

Just a year ago, Salford Red Devils were being wound up after a disastrous campaign in the 2025 Super League season that saw them ultimately liquidated. The club were resurrected under a new name of Salford RLFC with former player Mason Caton-Brown at the heart of the new ownership, whilst fan favourite Ryan Brierley returned and became club CEO.

After a first season under their new identity, Salford are preparing for Championship season 2027 and they’ve added a familiar face with 2019 Super League Grand Final try-scorer Jake Bibby signed to the club.

Salford ultimately lost that Grand Final 23-6 against St Helens but it wasn’t Bibby’s only Grand Final as he also scored in the big game a year later, albeit for Wigan in yet another loss to St Helens.

After being released by Oldham, Bibby has now returned to and signed for Salford RLFC as the latest addition to a squad that has already re-signed Brad Dwyer and brought back fan favourite Marc Sneyd as well.

Bibby brings plenty of experience to Salford but he also knows exactly what the club is all about, having made his debut with them back in 2015 and played with them throughout that incredible 2019 season with the Grand Final being his last match.
