The ex-England Knights centre scored 29 tries in just 30 appearances for Bradford last season having surprisingly found himself in the Championship after being released by Hull KR.

Welham, who notched 102 tries in 191 games for Rovers, will be a welcome addition for Salford who have lost Josh Griffin to Hull FC for 2017.

With cash-strapped Bradford put into liquidation on Tuesday, the 29-year-old is the fourth player to leave Odsal where all squad members are now free agents.

Head coach Ian Watson said: “The unfortunate situation with Bradford means we have been able to benefit with a quality addition to an area where we were short.

“Kris has proven over the years he is a Super League player with great ability.

“Everyone you speak to says he is a great guy with a good mentality so will fit well with what are creating here at Salford.”
