Former Leeds Rhinos three-quarter Nene Macdonald has joined Betfred Super League rivals Salford Red Devils on a four-year deal.

The move comes just 12 days after Macdonald was released from his Rhinos contract, which also ran until the end of 2027, after he failed to return to the club from paternity leave in Australia.

Leeds are in the process of signing Salford’s 2022 Man of Steel half-back Brodie Croft and are also understood to be chasing their England hooker Andy Ackers.

Macdonald told Salford’s website: “It is an exciting time for me to start a new chapter in my life, with a great team. I am excited to get out there for 2024 and the style of footy Salford play really suits me. It’s a great team that can push to play in finals and win some trophies.”
