Delighted Salford Red Devils have staved off NRL interest by securing their Man of Steel Brodie Croft on a huge SEVEN-year contract.
The Australian stand-off was in big demand with the Super League club laughing off a reported £150,000 offer from St George Illawarra last week. But Salford have now moved to secure the stellar talent on a massive long-term deal. Ex-Melbourne Storm star Croft, who made such a brilliant impact when arriving in the UK last year, was due to be out of contract at the end of the coming season.
But Salford, who reached the Super League semi-finals, have tied him down and now plan to build their side around him. Croft’s 32 try assists earned him a spot in the 2022 Betfred Super League Dream Team alongside Red Devils team-mates, Ken Sio and Tim Lafai.
