Foran quits Salford

Half-back Liam Foran has left Salford City Reds after only six months.

Foran, 25, has played 17 games for the Reds but has been out of the first team in recent weeks, after arriving from Manly Sea Eagles at the start of 2013.

Kiwi-born Foran, brother of New Zealand international Kieran, told the Manchester Evening News:

“I really wanted to play three years in England but it’s not to be. To have done so would have been good and what I have experienced has been great and very beneficial.

“I wish Salford all the very best for the future. I have met some really good blokes while I have been playing in England.

“It will take a while for Salford to fulfil their ambitions but they are heading in the right direction. I am sure they will get there. They are bringing in some good experienced talent but I have to accept what has happened to me and move on.

“I am looking at going back into the NRL – I know I can go well at that level having done so in the past.”
