Ken Sio has left the Red Devils claiming compassionate leave as the reason for the departure.
In an official statement the club said: “We can confirm that the club have granted Ken Sio his release from Salford Red Devils on compassionate grounds, bringing to an end a magnificent five-year stay at the club.
“Adored by the fanbase and well-respected by all his teammates, Sio has been a consistent, high-quality performer for the Red Devils since his move from the Newcastle Knights in late-2018.”
Sio has been Salford’s top try scorer for the last three seasons and was the league’s top try scorer for 2021, so he will be a big miss for the side.
This was a sentiment echoed by Head Coach, Paul Rowley, who said:
“It was difficult to hear that Ken will not be returning to Salford.
“The whole group holds Kenny in such high regard and he has been a trusted friend to myself, and the group.”
Ken Sio scored 78 tries in just 104 appearances for the Salford outfit.
Managing Director, Paul King, added: “Kenny’s personal situation sadly changed quite dramatically since signing his extension only a few months ago.
“It is with regret but understanding that we have accepted his request for release on compassionate grounds.”
The move comes as Salford Red Devils face continued uncertainty around the stadium situation.
