Salford’s Sam Stone excited to join Warrington Wolves on loan in “massive move”

WARRINGTON Wolves have announced the loan signing of forward Sam Stone from Salford Red Devils for the remainder of the 2025 season.

The 27-year-old is in line to make his Wire debut this Saturday afternoon as we take on Huddersfield Giants at The Halliwell Jones Stadium. He will also be eligible to feature in both of the club’s upcoming fixtures against his parent club, Salford, this season.
Dan Russell will move in the opposite direction, joining Salford on loan for the remainder of the year. Russell is also available for selection when the two clubs meet. Additionally, Tom Whitehead has joined the Red Devils on an initial four-week loan but will not be eligible to play against the Wire during that time.
Stone brings a wealth of experience, having scored 24 tries in 84 appearances for Salford and Leigh Leopards since arriving in the UK in 2021. Before that, he featured in the NRL for Newcastle Knights and Gold Coast Titans. Standing at 6ft 4in and weighing 16st 3lb, he adds power and size to the pack.
He will wear shirt number 38 and is proudly sponsored by PBM Buildings.

Sam Stone said: “It’s a massive move for me.
“I’m excited to get out on the field for Warrington for the second half of the campaign. I’m looking forward to getting around the boys and we’re ready for a big couple of months ahead. I’m excited to be a part of it.
“The boys have been very welcoming and I’ve been impressed coming in today.
“The Halliwell Jones has one of the best atmospheres in the comp and I’m excited now to run out in front of the Warrington fans.”
Warrington Wolves Head Coach Sam Burgess added: “Sam is a great reinforcement for us heading into the second part of the season. He brings valuable experience and adds real presence to our forward pack.”
