Salford sign Stapleton for 2008
Former Leigh player Craig Stapleton will return from Australia to play for Salford Reds in 2008.
The 28-year-old, who played for Leigh in 2005, has agreed a two-year contract with the Super League side.
Stapleton scored four tries in 28 appearances before moving back to play for Cronulla Sharks in the Australian National Rugby League.
Salford director of football Steve Simms said: "Craig is one of the best front rowers in the NRL. We are fortunate to have signed him."
