Liam Hood is joining Queensland team Burdekin Roosters

Salford Red Devils have confirmed the release of hooker Liam Hood and prop Luke Menzies.

Scotland international Hood, who made 22 appearances since joining from Hunslet 12 months ago, is headed to Australia to play for Queensland team Burdekin Roosters.

Former Swinton forward Menzies, 27, leaves Salford after playing just once - in the final round against Hull KR - in Super League last season.

Salford coach Ian Watson thanked both players for their contribution to the club, saying: "Liam and Luke are still young and have huge potential. Liam has a fantastic opportunity in Australia and the club wishes him well.

"We'd like to thank both players for all their efforts while with the Red Devils and wish them all the best for the future."
