Craig Kopczak has signed a new three-year contract with Salford Red Devils.
The Super League club have tied down their prop forward's future after securing recent deals with Gareth O'Brien, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Junior Sa'u, Weller Hauraki, and Lama Tasi.
Wales captain Kopczak was an ever-present for Salford last season after joining from Huddersfield, and head coach Ian Watson said: "We were really keen to keep Craig.

"Himself and George Griffin were the cornerstone of our pack in 2016 and that held us together as unit last year.
"He's a player who gives 100 per cent every time he goes onto the field, for his team mates and the club, and hopefully he can build on his performances along with the team to make us a genuine Super League force."
Chief executive Ian Blease, who revealed the length of the contract on his Twitter page, told the club website: "Craig has really committed to this club since joining last season, and this deal represents that.
"It's fantastic to see players that want to be part of this club, and are proud to play for Salford."
