Veteran Prop Adam Sidlow Joins Swinton Lions for 2025 After Salford Red Devils Exit
Veteran prop Adam Sidlow has joined Swinton Lions for the 2025 season, following his departure from Super League side Salford Red Devils.
Sidlow’s injury-plagued second stint at Salford, which lasted two years, saw him make 14 appearances for the Red Devils. He departed the Salford Community Stadium at the end of the 2024 campaign, where he played just once for Paul Rowley’s side, though that sole game was enough for him to reach the 150th Super League appearance milestone of his career.
Prior to that game against Wigan Warriors in September, the 37-year-old had spent a few months on loan with Oldham, helping the Roughyeds clinch the League 1 title. Now, Sidlow will return to the third tier on a permanent basis with Swinton, becoming the eighth club he has represented over the course of his lengthy career.
“An 1895 Cup and Championship winner with Leigh, Sidlow’s signing was announced by Swinton on their social media channels on Sunday, as the Lions look to bounce back from their relegation from the Championship at the end of the 2024 season.”
In between his two spells at Salford, the Lancashire Academy product had stints with Bradford Bulls, Toronto Wolfpack, and Leigh during their time as the ‘Centurions’. He has also featured for Widnes Vikings and Workington Town earlier in his career, amassing a total of 365 senior rugby league appearances and scoring 74 tries.
Swinton will be headed up by Warrington Wolves legend Paul Wood in 2025, as they aim to secure an immediate return to the second tier.
