Salford Red Devils forward Ben Hellewell has signed a one-year contract extension with the Super League club.

The 32-year-old joined Salford in 2023 from Featherstone Rovers having initially spent time on loan with the club the previous year.

The former Leigh and London Broncos second-rower made 19 appearances in his debut season but has had a disrupted 2024 campaign due to a hand injury.

"This season has been a challenging one for me personally due to multiple injuries and setbacks, so I can't wait to get back," he said.

"I have really enjoyed my time at the club for the past two years, the lads are great, and the coaches are - in my opinion - the best in the league."

Hellewell has turned out five times this term with his most recent Salford appearance coming in May.
