Morgan Escare could play for Salford as trialist

The Red Devils face Hull FC in a triple-header at Headingley which also features the Warriors' match against Wakefield.

Escare has signed a three-year deal with Salford starting next season after agreeing a release from his Wigan deal.

But he has already linked up with his future employers as a trialist - and could feature on Sunday.

Coach Ian Watson confirmed: "He’s on a trialist form at the moment.

"Hopefully we can keep him long-term this year as we’ve just started a month’s solid work to get him where we need to get him.

"Morgan's strengths are pretty obvious in terms of speed, we've been doing some work with him defensively."

The 28-year-old France international began his career with Catalans Dragons before moving to Wigan in 2017.

A World Club Challenge - in his second match - and Grand Final victory are among his 47 appearances.

But the arrival of Zak Hardaker and then Bevan French saw him fall down the pecking order and he finished last season on loan at Wakefield.
