Salford Red Devils chief executive Martin Vickers has revealed that Harrison Hansen and Cory Paterson are not expected to leave the club.

The duo have been linked with moves away from the Super League strugglers at the end of the season.

While refusing to rule out exits for the pair, Vickers has suggested that captain Hansen and forward Paterson will remain at the AJ Bell Stadium.

"The reality is both Hansen and Paterson are contracted players for 2016 and we have had no formal offer for either player," he told BBC Sport.

"Tim Sheens and the coaching staff are making good progress in the building of a strong side for 2016 and, if there are any offers for such players at the end of the season, Tim will decide on such issues."

Salford face a crucial match at home to Leigh Centurions on Sunday in the Super League Qualifiers.
