Jack Ormondroyd has committed his long-term future to Salford with a new three-year deal with the Super League club. 

The new contract will see the forward remain at the AJ Bell Stadium until 2025.

Ormondroyd, 31, becomes the latest player to extend their future with Salford following Brodie Croft’s historic contract earlier last week.

He joined the club from Featherstone ahead of the 2020 season, having also played for Leeds between 2017-2018.

The prop forward impressed in 2022, making 26 appearances and scoring four tries. He was rewarded with the starting number eight shirt for the 2023 campaign by head coach Paul Rowley.

Ormondroyd said: “I am really happy to be staying at Salford for another couple of years.

“I’ve enjoyed my time here so far; we’ve got a great set of lads. Hopefully we can have another good year and do something special!”

Rowley added: “It’s fantastic news that Jack is staying with the Club. He continues to work hard in everything he does and typifies the qualities and core values of the group. 

“He’s fantastic to coach and a real leader within the group so his retention is another example of the clubs commitment to the succession of the team and therefore a real positive for our club.”

Director of rugby and operations, Ian Blease, added: “It is incredible news that Jack is extending his stay with the Red Devils.

“Since joining the club in 2020, his improvement – under the guidance of Paul Rowley and his staff – has been a joy to watch. His presence and voice in the dressing room is vital – especially for our young players – so I’m delighted he’ll be able to continue that going forward.

“After some other vital contract extensions in the off-season, I can’t wait for the season to kick-off on Friday and see what this team can achieve!”

Salford travel to Leigh for their opening Super League fixture of the 2023 campaign.
