Salford fullback Gareth O’Brien has made a full recovery after being stretchered off in the club’s pre-season victory over Rochdale.
The Red Devils’ Million Pound Game hero marked his return to the field with a try, but was assisted from the pitch after being on the receiving end of a thunderous tackle from Rochdale’s Lewis Galbraith.
However, Salford officials have confirmed that the former Warrington man recovered soon after being taken from the field.
