Jack Ormondroyd says free-flowing Salford are winning fans - and helping his ex-footballer dad find a new favourite sport.
The storming prop, 31, hopes to power the Red Devils to another Super League victory against Huddersfield on Sunday. They are fast becoming many peoples’ ‘second’ favourite club due to their eye-catching attacking style. Ex-Bradford, Aston Villa, Derby and Leicester striker Ian Ormondroyd, 57, is clearly on board.
Jack said: “Dad never played rugby league. He’s miles too skinny for that! But he’s always there watching. At first, I don’t think he was sure about me playing it rather than football. But he loves it now. He comes to all the games. And he’s said to me a few times that he now even prefers watching rugby league on TV to football as it’s more engrossing. I think I’ve converted him.
