He's back in Wigan training with their Academy team. Wigan want to keep him, Salford wanting to sign him.

Jewitt was coming down here to team up with Lam and Raper who both knew him form Wigan. I doubt that's going to happen now Thomo.

SALFORD City Reds are no longer looking to recruit players for next season.

They are happy with their 2007 squad having signed Leigh centre Danny Halliwell and young Wigan forward Lee Jewitt at the end of last week.

Steve Simms, Salford’s director of football, said: "We are happy with what we’ve got and are no longer looking around.

"But, under the 25/20 rule, we do have space for one more player earning more than £25,000 per year. We will keep that space just in case something crops up."

Simms added: "Often, a few decent players become available in January or February and if we are one of those clubs that has left space on the salary cap then we stand a good chance of getting them."

Halliwell, aged 25, scored 26 tries for Leigh in 2006 and was named in the National League One dream team. He has previous Super League experience with Halifax, Wakefield and Warrington.

Simms said: "We needed an outside back and Danny can play centre or full back. He’s a big lad with lots of pace and a lot of ability and he is determined to make the most of the opportunity to play at Super League level again.

"He has matured since he last played in Super League. Danny has proved himself to be a prolific try scorer in League One. He can score tries from all over the place and he will provide good competition to the likes of Moule and McGuinness."

Jewitt, aged 19, has come through Wigan’s Academy ranks.

He comes highly recommended by former Wigan coach Ian Millward.

And another ex-Wigan coach, Stuart Raper, invited Jewitt to play for his NRL side Cronulla Sharks last season.

Simms said: "The fact that he was invited to play in Australia shows what a good prospect Lee is.


"He broke his hand in Australia and had to come back to Wigan under-21s. Wigan wanted to keep him but he has decided to join us and we are delighted.

"He’s a good tough front rower and he’s definitely one for the future."

Both players have penned one-year deals with the Reds.


# SALFORD players Stuart Littler and Gareth Haggerty have been named in the Ireland squad that will take on Russia in Moscow on Sunday, October 22, and Lebanon at Dublin’s Tolka Park on Sunday, November 5.

# RELEASED Salford forwards Simon Baldwin and Ryan Clayton have found new clubs at League One level. Baldwin has joined Rochdale Hornets and Clayton has signed for Castleford Tigers.

# SALFORD fans have voted Malc Alker as the club’s top player during a decade of Super League rugby. He has been named the Reds’ Tetley’s legend.

# SALFORD chairman John Wilkinson and director of football Steve Simms will be the special guests at Forever Reds’ next meeting on Monday, October 16. Admission is free for the meeting at The Willows Tavern, which starts at 7.30pm.

# THE Reds have secured an arrangement with the owners of Weaste Cricket Ground for an external company to provide and operate secure car parking for match days. The cricket ground at the rear of the family stand will provide much needed extra parking at the Willows for the 2007 season.

Defiately not coming. Oh well, I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it.
