Salford ask fans to fund new recruits

Super League relegation battlers Salford are asking fans to chip in to help them make new signings just as new signing and NRL outcast Jackson Hastings arrives.

Salford are appealing to their fans to raise cash to help them make a plunge into the transfer market before Friday's signing deadline.

The Red Devils face a battle to avoid relegation to the Betfred Championship after a bottom-four finish in Super League consigned them to the Super 8s Qualifiers.

New signing and NRL outcast Jackson Hastings, a former Sydney Roosters and Manly-Warringah player, has arrived in the country in time for Friday's final match of the regular season against Leeds

Salford coach Ian Watson wants to add further to his thin squad in time for the play-offs.

Club sponsors Capricorn Security have come together with supporters to launch a squad-building fundraiser but they have just four days to raise money for new signings.

"Capricorn's roots are based in Salford and we are huge fans of the city, the people and the club so we are delighted to have the opportunity to kick off this squad builder with the opening donation," Capricorn director Paul King said.

"We are asking the club's fantastic supporters to rally around and contribute as much as they can before transfer deadline on Friday."
