Salford Red Devils have signed Wigan prop Scott Taylor on a one-year deal.

The England international, 23, moved to Wigan from Hull KR in 2012 for a "substantial fee" and helped them win the 2013 Challenge Cup and Grand Final.

Wigan re-signed prop Lee Mossop from Parramatta Eels this week, which would have meant more competition for a starting place for Taylor.

"He has a fantastic temperament and has great potential to go far in the game," said Salford head coach Iestyn Harris.

"He has a wealth of Super League experience, including Challenge Cup and Grand Final appearances, so he brings a lot to the team.

"When I first heard that I had another opportunity to work with Scott I was overjoyed and I think he'll be the final piece of the jigsaw for our 2015 season."
