Bradford Bulls player of year Kris Welham joins Salford Red Devils
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.
