Salford sign France international prop Sangare

Salford Red Devils have signed France international Justin Sangare on a two-year deal following his release from Leeds Rhinos.

Prior to joining the Rhinos, prop Sangare came through Toulouse Olympique's development programme and made 23 Super League appearances after helping them win promotion to the top flight for 2022.

The 26-year-old joined Leeds in 2023 on a two-year deal and made a total of 42 appearances for the club prior to his release in October.

"There is a lot of potential with this group. My ambition is to win trophies, and I know that is something the club is striving to achieve, so it feels like the perfect move for me," he said.

"I am excited to meet the supporters and give everything on the pitch to earn their respect."

Sangare has also made four appearances for France, and faced England during the 2021 Rugby League World Cup.

He joins a Salford side which defied expectations last season and secured a fourth-placed finish in Super League.
