Former Salford skipper focusing on fundraising after 'closing book' on playing career

Former Salford skipper Lee Mossop would have preferred to be taking to the field as part of his own testimonial fixture next Friday, but has no regrets about the way his career came to an abrupt end midway through last season.

Forced into retirement by injury, the prop forward wasted no time in shifting his focus to ensuring the charities set to benefit from his testimonial could receive the greatest possible boost in fundraising and awareness.

"I'm putting all my energy into this one game, to hopefully get a lot of bums on seats, which will then give us one last push so we can give these charities a good chunk of money at the end of it," said Mossop.
