The club celebrated its’ 150th anniversary in 2023. We took the opportunity to celebrate our rich history and use the year as a seminal point in building the club’s future.
The ‘Original Red Devils’ have seen periods in our history with great success. The 1930s were the club’s first golden years with the legendary Lance Todd at the helm. During the 1960s and 1970s, we became a dominant force in the game winning a number of League and Cup titles, attracting big name players from across both codes to join the club, becoming known as the “Quality Street Gang” for our style of play.
Since 2018, we have been a genuine ‘Community Club’, in contrast with the benefactor ownership model throughout the club’s history, being owned by a not-for-profit company which has had three directors who have stewarded the club through these last five years.
Despite having the smallest playing budget in the Super League, we have had amazing success - most importantly reaching our first ever Super League Grand final in 2019. In 2020, we reached our first Challenge Cup final in 51 years. In 2022, we regained the title of ‘The Entertainers’ playing an innovative and exciting brand of rugby which saw us reach the Super League Play Off semi-final, losing narrowly to eventual winners St Helens.
Salford Red Devils is a club at the heart of its’ community. Working together with the Salford Red Devils Foundation, we have a huge impact on the City of Salford and the Greater Manchester region more widely as a whole, offering a wide range of community programmes to promote health and wellbeing.
