Joe Burgess has finally broken his silence following the announcement of his departure from Salford Red Devils on January 9th. The club had declared that the 29-year-old’s behavior did not align with their expectations, leading to his immediate exit. However, the specific details surrounding Burgess’s conduct remain undisclosed, contributing to weeks of speculation.
Taking to Twitter, Burgess expressed his sadness at the club’s stance and hinted at an impending appeal. He stated, “Due to the fact that what has occurred will be the subject of an appeal, both to the club, and if necessary the league’s independent tribunal, I propose to say very little else at this stage.” Despite the circumstances, he expressed gratitude to his teammates, staff, and fans for three enjoyable years with the club, signing off with “ATVB (all the very best).”
Salford Red Devils, in their official statement, refrained from providing additional comments on the reasons behind Burgess’s dismissal. This lack of transparency has fueled speculation about the nature of the incident. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Joe Burgess swiftly found a new opportunity, securing a one-year deal with Hull Kingston Rovers after his release from Salford Red Devils.
As the situation unfolds, the public remains curious about the details leading to Burgess’s departure and the potential outcomes of the impending appeal. The winger’s decision to address the matter on social media suggests a desire to maintain a level of discretion until the appeal process unfolds, leaving fans and observers awaiting further developments in this unexpected turn of events.
