Salford Red Devils can confirm that the Club and Manu Vatuvei have agreed an early release from his contract due to an injury sustained in pre-season.

Director of Rugby & Operations Ian Blease stated: “Unfortunately, the injury Manu sustained in pre-season meant that he would be out for the full season.

“We had hoped that Manu would have played a significant part in our 2018 campaign however we now feel that it is best for both parties for Manu to return home.

“Everyone at the Club would like to wish Manu the best of luck for the future.”
