We can confirm Kurt Haggerty has left Salford Red Devils by mutual consent.
Despite facing challenging circumstances this season, he has formed one part of a formidable coaching trio since joining the Club in 2022, helping transform the Red Devils into a team that competes with the very best in the Betfred Super League.
In October 2024, it was announced that Haggerty would be stepping up into the Head Coach role after Paul Rowley’s transition into a Director of Rugby role from 2026 onwards.
The Club will communicate the next steps in regards to our coaching structure in due course.
Upon news of his departure, Haggerty said: “I wish nothing but the best for everybody involved at the Red Devils and hope the current situation is resolved and the club finally has a future of stability.
“The public nature of the situation and uncertainty of my future as the Head Coach of the club moving forward has become incredibly unbearable for me and my family. This ultimately led to my decision to leave the club.
“To the Salford fans, standing by a team and club in such adverse times with a team they cannot fully call their own is one of the most admirable things I have seen in rugby league.
“I would like to thank Paul King, Paul Rowley and every staff member I have had the pleasure to work alongside the past four years.”
Paul Rowley has added: “I just want to wish Kurt the best of luck with what I’m sure will be a positive future. Kurt has been brilliant for me and I appreciate everything he has given to myself and the club.”
Paul King has also said: “Kurt has always been a man of great integrity, its been a real pleasure to work with him over the last four years.
“Although I am obviously disappointed to see him leave, I fully understand his reasoning and know he will be a real asset for any club he gets the opportunity to work at.
“I would like to place on record my personal thanks to Kurt for all his hard work over his time at the club and the lifelong memories he helped to create over that period.”
Everyone at the Club would like to thank Haggy for his unwavering commitment to the Red Devils and wishes him nothing but the best for his future career.
