Sam Davis will make his Salford Red Devils debut off the interchange bench in tonight’s Betfred Super League tie with Leeds Rhinos.
The hooker made the switch up north after a spell with the London Broncos, but is yet to don the red shirt with a string of injury trouble.
Joe Mellor, back from injury last week, starts at hooker, but the 26-year-old could be introduced into proceedings to add some zip later in the game.
There’s also a debut for youngster, Billy Glover on the wing, with Jayden Nikorima partnered by Kai Morgan in the halves.
