Niall Evalds was in the Sa;lford side beaten by St Helens in last season's Super League Grand Final

Salford have said they are "extremely disappointed" full-back Niall Evalds has decided to leave the club at the end of the season.

Evalds has scored 83 tries in 122 Super League appearances for the Red Devils.

Salford said they had been confident of agreeing a new deal with the 26-year-old before being told he had "signed for a competitor on Saturday morning".

Evalds has been strongly linked with a move to fellow Super League side Castleford Tigers.

Rugby league has been suspended indefinitely since 16 March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
