Matty Costello also had loan spells away from St Helens with Leigh and Sheffield Eagles
Salford Red Devils have signed centre Matty Costello on a three-year deal, following his release by Super League champions St Helens.
The 22-year-old scored six tries in 26 games for Saints, in addition to 14 in 26 in total in dual registration spells at Sheffield and Leigh.
He is reunited with ex-Saints assistant coach Richard Marshall, who succeeded Ian Watson as Salford boss last week.
"He did a lot with me at St Helens and brought us on there," Costello said.
"We had a meeting now we've both joined Salford and I'm sure he'll be looking to do the same here.
"There's a lot of players with international experience in the backs as well, so I'm sure I will learn from how they train and play too."
Orrell St James academy product Costello can also play full-back and on the wing.
