Warrington Wolves half-back Marc Sneyd will return to Salford RLFC next season after signing a two-year deal with the Championship club.
The Salford academy product was a standout performer across two prior spells with the club, but left to join Warrington in March 2025, with Salford Red Devils beset by financial trouble that saw the original club liquidated over unpaid debts.
Sneyd’s surprise return was announced to Salford RLFC supporters today ahead of their Championship fixture against London Broncos.
He has signed a two-year contract, which will keep him at the club until 2029. Sneyd will leave Warrington at the end of the season.
A spokesperson for Salford RLFC said that securing one of the game’s “most accomplished half-backs” from the Super League reflects the board’s determination to strengthen the squad as the club moves forward.
They added that Sneyd chose to return to Salford despite interest from Super League clubs.
Sneyd said: “Timing was a big one for me. I spoke to Ryan and the coaches and their ambition really stood out. The club is at a brand-new stage, but I want to help the club get back to the level the club wants to be at. Hopefully, next year we can build on what the club has already built this season.”
Salford RLFC CEO Ryan Brierley, who played alongside Sneyd during his first spell at the club, said:
“Bringing Sneydy back to Salford is a hugely significant moment for our club, and personally it’s one of the proudest moments of my career so far.
“Marc is someone I’ve shared a dressing room with, someone I consider a genuine friend, and one of the best players this club has ever produced. Our supporters love him, and everyone associated with Salford knows exactly what he represents.
“I was here when the club went through administration, and I know first-hand how difficult it was for Sneydy to leave. To now have the opportunity to bring him home, and give him the chance to finish this chapter in a Salford shirt feels incredibly special.
“His quality on the field speaks for itself, and he makes everyone around him better. Our young halves will have the opportunity to learn from one of the smartest rugby brains in the game.
“This signing is also a statement of intent. We want to build a team our supporters can be proud of, and bringing a player of Sneydy’s calibre back to Salford shows exactly where our ambitions lie.
“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Sneydy home.”
