Salford have signed New Zealand forward Elijah Taylor on a two-year contract.

The 30-year-old was most recently co-captain at Wests Tigers and has made close to 200 NRL appearances.

Taylor will have familiar faces among his teammates in Tui Lolohea, Sebastine Ikahihifo and Krisnan Inu – with the latter extending his stay at the club on Christmas Day.

Red Devils head coach Richard Marshall said: “Elijah has the quality to have a massive impact on this team with his actions on and off the field.

“He already has a good relationship with Tui from their time at Wests Tigers and I’m looking forward to seeing them play together in Salford shirts.

“I also think Elijah’s experience on the world stage will make him a great influence on the rest of our pack, and in particular our younger players.”
