Salford City Reds Vice Captain, Robbie Paul will make his debut for the club this evening (Friday), when the Reds take on Bramley Buffaloes in the first knock out round of the Northern Rail Cup at the Willows.Further to being declared fit by his surgeon and club medical staff, Robbie has been back in full time training for the past few weeks and a further check up yesterday confirmed that he was back to match fitness and would be in the starting thirteen for this evening’s game, forming a half back combination with Richie Myler whilst Stefan Ratchford starts on the bench.

Salford City Reds, Head Coach, Shaun McRae commented:

“I’m delighted that Robbie has got through what has been a really difficult time and will be making his debut for the club this evening.

“He is an integral part of the team and has been a terrific off field representative for the club during his rehab, but I am keen to see him back transfer all those skills back on the rugby field.”

Further to a clash of heads with Lee Jewitt at the Batley Game last weekend, Jordan Turner has been declared fit to play after passing a cog sport assessment earlier this week, and with Jewitt, Stapleton and Leuluai all out with niggling injuries, Adam Sidlow will step up for his first outing since the pre season friendly against Warrington earlier this year.
