Ethan Ryan is back in the Salford Red Devils team to face Bradford Bulls in tonight’s Betfred Challenge Cup fourth round tie.
After a period on the sidelines due to undergoing surgery on his hand, the flying winger will be up against a former side where he scored 89 tries across his three-year stay.
It’s a welcome boost for Paul Rowley’s men, who welcome back Jayden Nikorima from his one-game suspension. Loose-forward, Joe Shorrocks will serve the one remaining on his total, with Harvey Wilson slotting into that 13 role.
Chris Atkin pairs Nikorima in the halves after Marc Sneyd’s transfer to Warrington Wolves.
