Salford Red Devils are delighted to confirm the signing of prolific try-scoring winger Ken Sio on a three-year deal.
The Australian winger spent time in the Betfred Super League with Hull Kingston Rovers in 2015 and 2016 scoring 26 tries for the Robins.
Sio has spent the last two seasons with NRL side Newcastle Knights crossing for 17 tries in 41 appearances and made his name for Parramatta Eels scoring 37 tries in 57 appearances between 2011 and 2014.
Salford Red Devils Head Coach, Ian Watson, said: โWe are delighted to add Ken to our team and would like to welcome his wife and children to Salford.
โThis signing is an outstanding capture for the Club as Ken is a player who can play full-back, winger and centre and comes with great experience.
โKen is a fantastic person with an excellent work ethic which is essential in our environment here at Salford Red Devils.
โHis all-round ability and track record as a proven finisher in both the Super League and NRL will only add to our back line and help us build momentum as we head into the 2019 season.โ
Director of Rugby and Operations, Ian Blease, said: โWeโre really pleased to have been able to bring in a player of Kenโs quality ahead of the 2019 season.
โKen is a powerful, pacey winger or centre with a terrific try-scoring record and weโre really excited to see him play in the famous shirt for Salford.
โA lot of hard work has gone in behind the scenes to get this deal over the line and I know we again beat off strong competition for Ken from other Super League clubs. Iโm confident that this will be the first of a number of signings which will help bolster our squad for next year.
โIt is important that the Salford Red Devils supporters continue to get behind the Club by purchasing their Season Tickets and signing up to our Squad Builder scheme so that we can continue to make signings such as this.
โIโd like to personally thank all the fans who have purchased their Season Tickets and Squad Builder memberships already โ it is very much appreciated.”
