Warrington Wolves prop Gil Dudson has left the club after joining Salford Red Devils on a season-long loan. Dudson, who played for the Reds in the 2019 Super League Grand Final, has returned to the club after finding himself down the pecking order at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Dudson has been available to clubs for several months but following an injury to Brad Singleton, Salford have made their move, one that appears to mark the end of his time at Warrington. The Wire have subsequently recalled Joe Bullock from Hull FC, leaving them with the same level of depth within their squad. As for Salford, it gives them another addition to a squad low on numbers.
“I’m very happy to welcome Gil back to the club,” Salford coach Paul Rowley said. “He’s a very intelligent footballer and gives us much needed reinforcements to our middle unit.
“Having worked closely with Gil before I have trust in his ability and more importantly, I know he is the type of character that will fit into, and compliment our environment, which is one we are extremely protective, and proud of.”
Director of Rugby and Operations, Ian Blease added: “Once we knew Gil was available, we were quick to secure his signature again. It is a pleasure to welcome Gil back to the club. It is important to the coaching staff & players that when we bring an ex-player back into our environment he will enhance our drive, and ambition as a club.
“Gil will certainly do that; he is a winner and a very experienced Super League player. I personally can not wait to see him back in the Red Devils shirt.”
