Salford swoop for Towers

Salford Reds have snapped up Australian full-back Luke Towers on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old full-back has been a try-scoring machine during his time in France with Limoux.

And Towers is expected to replace fellow countryman Luke Patten who has announced he will be retiring and returning home at the end of the season.

Salford head coach Phil Veivers admits he has been suitably impressed with what he has heard about the player and is looking forward to seeing him action when he links up with the Reds on Friday.

"We have had very good reports on Luke and we'll see how he shapes up," Veivers said.

"I am told he is good enough for both the NRL and Super League. He will have to learn everything pretty quickly and we will have a good look at him."

Towers, who has previously played at the Sydney Roosters before moving to France, can play on the wing and at half-back but is expected to be given an opportunity to press his claims to fill the full-back berth.

Reds director of football Steve Simms said: "Luke is an exciting player who can score tries and that is what the game is ultimately about.

"He's coming over and Phil will have a look at him and, to be fair, he will be having a look at us at the same time.

"But he comes with great reviews and we are looking forward to seeing what he has to offer."
