Breaking: Salford Red Devils chief operating officer Claire Bradbury has quit her role, alleging that the owners “suggested she sleep with an individual from the RFL” to “smooth over” the club’s financial position.
Bradbury, who joined as COO in October after working for Sale Sharks, announced her resignation this afternoon on LinkedIn.
Salford has been rocked by financial instability, payment issues and player exits in 2025.
She posted: “I debated whether to post this, however, with what has been happening at Salford Red Devils, I think it is too important to say nothing.
It’s with huge sadness that earlier this week I resigned from my role as COO.
“What was a dream job I’d worked so hard for and such a proud moment in my career, is one I can no longer do 💔🥹. I hope no other Club experiences what we have been through this year…”
Earlier this week club director Steven Englander also resigned.
Bradbury posted a longer statement, which you can read below:
