Let’s have a bit of truth here, Salford applied to have a CAT A license including the finding that other clubs get to run one only to be told no.
Salford have therefore had no alternative but to run a development Academy which is producing players, Luis Roberts who had just signed for Leeds is a product of this, Salford also had 7 debutants in the game against Warrington last season all from their Academy and reserves side. Worth noting that they pushed pretty much a full strength Warrington very close.
the only person responsible for Salford no longer having a full time Academy is the former owner who took it upon himself to abolish it! Releasing the likes of Tyler Dupree. The current board are trying to grow the pipeline in f players and hopefully we will be able to have that license in the coming years
