Andy Hay has joined Salford as assistant coach after leaving Hull.

Hay, 39, teams up with Stuart Donlan, who has also joined Brian Noble’s coaching staff at the Salford City Stadium.

Noble said: “Both come to us with an excellent pedigree. We are virtually up to where we should be now with the strength of our backroom team. Both are straight into it now and it will allow us to spend more time working with individuals.”

Former Leeds back-rower Hay has also previously been assistant at Castleford, and was linked to the vacant head coach role at the Tigers, recently filled by Daryl Powell.

He spent two years at Hull, before leaving by mutual consent.
