Championship club Barrow Raiders have announced the signing of forwards Greg Burke and Jack Wells from Salford Red Devils.
The duo will join from next season, with Burke signing a two-year deal and Wells agreeing a contract for the 2023 season.
Burke, 29, has played over 150 times in Super League, principally for Wigan Warriors, Widnes Vikings and Salford, while 24-year-old Wells also started out at Wigan before joining the Red Devils in 2021.
Both players had spells earlier this season with Barrow, who reached the second tier’s play-offs, on loan or dual registration.
“I’m at a point where I want to be enjoying my rugby, and I feel like I can do that playing in this side,” said Burke, who played in Salford’s 2019 Grand Final and 2020 Challenge Cup final defeats.
“To move to a club like Barrow Raiders is very exciting,” said Wells. “From the two games I’ve played with Barrow I know the club is a good fit for me.”
Raiders chairman Steve Neale added: “We are delighted to sign two Super League standard forwards as we endeavour to consolidate our position as a genuine Championship team.”
