“The women’s game is massive at the moment, it’s being pushed really well, the coverage of it and I just can’t wait to get stuck into it.”

Grady is already vastly experienced at both club and international level. Most recently, he joined John Kear for a stint at Widnes Vikings, alongside becoming Head Coach of the Spanish National Team.

He will be holding trials tonight ( November 27) and Wednesday ( November 29) at Salford stadium to recruit fresh talent.

“First of all, we’re going to have a trial and see who’s out there and who can come in,” Grady added.

“And just like any team, we’re going to get stuck into pre-season, work hard and we’ll set our goals to rip into the season in the best way we can.”

Their debut season in the Women’s Super League was relatively successful with them achieving a play off spot.

However, due to a restructure of the competition they will be competing in a lower division next year.

Grady said: “We’re in it to win it.

“We’re going to push ourselves, we’re going to go for it and the aim is to go up, so we’ll be working hard in pre-season towards achieving that throughout the year.”

Another objective of his new role is to put a pathway in place for young girls to become the next stars of Salford Red Devils.
