Tributes have been paid to former Salford Red Devils Captain Malcolm Alker who has died at the age of 45
Alker made 292 appearances for Salford between 1997 and 2010, spending his entire professional career with the club. Firstly named captain in 2000 at just 21 years-old, the hooker would eventually become Salford’s full-time captain.
in addition to representing Lancashire in 2002, his performances for Salford throughout the 2000s eventually gained him international recognition, receiving a call up and pulling on an England shirt on two occasions.
