Deon Cross joins Salford Red Devils

Deon Cross joins Salford Red Devils

Salford Red Devils have completed the signing of winger Deon Cross on a one-year deal, with the option of a further year.

The 25-year-old joins from Widnes Vikings for whom he has impressed over the last two seasons. Cross began his professional Rugby League journey with Rochdale Hornets in 2018 before spending a season with Barrow Raiders. 

Cross said: “I’m really excited about the move; Super League has been the target since I started playing Rugby. 

“Salford is a fantastic club who have reached new heights more than once over the last few seasons, and I hope I can help this club achieve again.” 

Director of Rugby and Operations, Ian Blease, added: “It’s no wonder why Deon was voted the Fans’ Player of the Year this season at Widnes. He’s a very talented winger who is still only young, so has plenty of time to develop his game even further. 

“Being around the likes of Ken Sio, Joe Burgess and Rhys Williams, who are all established Super League players, can only help Deon mature and improve.”
