Justin Sangare's trophy message with new club confirmed after Leeds Rhinos departure

Salford Red Devils have confirmed the signing of Leeds Rhinos prop Justin Sangare. As revealed by Rugby League Live, the French international has signed a two-year deal with the Reds following his departure from Headingley.

The former Toulouse Olympique forward spent two seasons with the Rhinos, after catching the eye while playing for the French club in their 2022 Super League campaign.

After 42 appearances for Leeds, he left the club despite having time to run on his contract as part of a roster shake-up under Brad Arthur. That has seen Salford swoop, signing the 26-year-old as part of a revamped pack that has also seen Chris Hill and Joe Bullock drafted in.

“I am very happy to join Salford for the next two years," he said. “There is a lot of potential with this group. My ambition is to win trophies, and I know that is something the club is striving to achieve, so it feels like the perfect move for me. I am excited to meet the supporters and give everything on the pitch to earn their respect.”

Head coach Paul Rowley, who has also signed Esan Marsters and Sam Davis for 2025, added: “I am pleased to welcome Justin to Salford and on behalf of all the group we are all looking forward to working alongside him with a shared objective of being our absolute best, at training and in games. Everyone at Salford is extremely happy to have Justin on board and look forward to seeing him pull on a red shirt soon."
