HUNSLET’S Kobe Rugless has joined Salford Red Devils from Hunslet on a two-week loan.

The hooker joins Warrington Wolves duo Dan Russell and Tom Whitehead as the third loan addition ahead of Sunday’s Super League clash with Hull FC.

Rugless began his career in the junior ranks of Sydney Roosters before making 35 appearances in Australia’s second-grade competition for Norths Bears and the Newcastle Knights.

Moving onto New South Wales Cup outfit Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles, his performances earned him a pre-season appearance with Manly.

Kobe’s dad, Troy, has also played on these shores before, plying his trade with London Broncos and making 15 appearances in 1993/94.

On making a loan switch to the Red Devils, Rugless has said: “I’m really grateful for the opportunity that this club and the coaches are giving me to come to such a prestigious club over here in the UK.

“I am super excited to get into training and meet all the squad and staff.”
