Salford Red Devils owner Marwan Koukash has used social media to wish former star signing Kevin Locke all the best for the future.

This follows Locke’s decision to take the club to a tribunal after he was allowed to join Wakefield on loan for the end of the season.

The tribunal did not go according to plan for the New Zealand international who is now tipped to possibly try and set up a return move to the NRL.

Whether he stays in England is unlikely.

He can take his case to an employment tribunal but it may be in his best interest to accept today’s (Monday) decision and move on.

Locke has not had the best of times since settling in England. He failed to recapture the form that made him one of the most exciting players in the NRL.

He has been dogged by injury problems and relations became strained with Salford and Marwan Koukash.

Locke came close to making a cross code move to rugby union earlier in the year.

He was linked with Scotland but this did not materialise.

He was injured for Salford’s opening game of the season and then suffered further problems in the opening home game with Saints.

Locke claimed at one stage he was owed money by Salford and let down over the terms of his contract. Salford strongly disputed this hence the tribunal and now today’s latest twist in what has been on on-going saga.

Locke also suffered a serious shoulder injury at the end of the regular season playing for Wakefield against Castleford.
