Salford Red Devils' prospective investor insists the club can become a force as plans to purchase the AJ Bell Stadium continue to take place.

Local businessman Sebastian Gerrard, a boyhood Reds fan, is currently in discussions with Salford Council with regards to purchasing the stadium, despite a rival bid made up of Sale Sharks and Class of 92-owned Salford City FC.

Cash-strapped Salford had been considering a move to Moor Lane, the current home of the city's football club co-owned by Gary Neville.

That would have seen the League 2 club move base to the AJ Bell, which is twice the size of their current home. But Gerrard now hopes to secure the Super League club's future at their current home as part of wider plans to make the Devils a Super League powerhouse. "Our objective is to basically keep the stadium in use for the community," he said. "We want Salford to keep playing here, we'd like to bring Swinton Lions and a host of other community events and concerts to the facility.
