Salford Red Devils have agreed a deal with Wigan Warriors to sign forward Tiaki Chan. Rugby League Live can reveal that the two clubs have struck a deal that will see the Warriors player join the Reds on loan.

Chan, who joined the Warriors from Catalans Dragons last year, is understood to have linked up with the Reds for training yesterday after the two clubs came to terms on a deal.

With Salford under enhanced special measures, a deal would have to be approved by the Rugby Football League, however, terms have been agreed between both clubs and Chan looks set to be a late addition to Paul Rowley's squad ahead of the new campaign.

The deal is more complicated as Salford were issued a sustainability cap of £1.2million as a result of their current issues and that is thought to still be in place. However, with Salford progressing with their takeover talks, the hope is that it will be lifted ahead of the new season. Furthermore, it's unclear at this stage whether Salford are financially contributing towards the deal, which hypothetically could allow them to register Chan without him counting under the sustainability cap.

Since his arrival at the DW Stadium, 24-year-old Chan has made two appearances for the Warriors but also spent time on loan at Hull FC last season, making nine appearances for the Black and Whites.

Before that, he had made his breakthrough in Perpignan, debuting for Catalans in 2022 and making 16 appearances for the club. Chan has predominantly played from the bench during his career but has featured in the front-row and back-row.
