Salford Red Devils coach Paul Rowley has confirmed that prop Jack Ormondroyd has sustained a season-ending injury. Ormondroyd, a prominent forward for the Red Devils in 2024, has not played since May 10 due to a rib injury, while rookie forward Matty Foster was assisted off the pitch by medical personnel in the final parts of Salford’s 34-4 victory over London on Sunday afternoon.
But in more positive news for Salford, new signing Loghan Lewis is due to arrive in England later this week after joining the Red Devils for the rest of this season from NRL side Canberra Raiders, with a club option to extend his stay for 2025.
Speaking to Love Rugby League after their win over London, Rowley confirmed Lewis’ imminent arrival whilst also saying that Ormondroyd won’t play again this season.
“He’ll (Loghan Lewis) arrive at the back end of next week so the week off and then he’ll be in full training with us,” Rowley said.
“He’s a welcome addition really, we’re obviously light in the middles, (we’ve) probably lost Matty Foster for hopefully not too long today but he didn’t look too good when he came off.
“Jack Ormondroyd is season-ending, he’s gone (for the year) so we’re already light in the middles so it’s not been a helpful couple of weeks so we’re just trying to reinforce that.”
