Salford Red Devils have accepted a bid from Castleford Tigers for prop Jack Ormondroyd. Rugby League Live can reveal the Reds have agreed to sell the forward for a transfer fee, with Ormondroyd set to become the first player to leave the club since they revealed the need to cut their costs.

The Tigers must now agree personal terms with the 33-year-old, who has spent the last five seasons with the Reds and has also previously played for Leeds Rhinos and Featherstone Rovers. However, it appears a deal is now imminent.

Rugby League Live revealed earlier this week that Castleford were keen to sign Ormondroyd, having identified him as a player of interest to bolster their pack. The Tigers have been looking for a middle addition throughout the off-season and Salford's situation has seen them able to make a move for one of their players.

Cas coach Danny McGuire knows Ormondroyd from his days at Headingley. The pair played together on five occasions during Leeds' 2017 Grand Final winning campaign. Not it appears they are set to reunite in a player and coach dynamic.

Salford are set to cash in on a number of their players in the coming weeks as part of a process that has seen them instructed to cut their costs by around £800,000. The likes of Kallum Watkins, Marc Sneyd and Nene Macdonald are among the players set to command interest.

But for now, Ormondroyd appears likely to be the first to move in a deal which will see Castleford secure the front-line prop they have been looking for.

The Tigers have already added quality across their squad, signing the likes of Daejarn Asi, Judah Rimbu, Zac Cini and Jeremiah Simbiken. They hope to improve on last year's tenth-placed finish.
