Salford centre Kris Welham has signed a one-year contract extension with the Red Devils.
Welham, who had a year left on his deal, is now tied to the Super League club until the end of the 2019 season.
The 30-year-old former Bradford player has appeared 29 times for the club since arriving in January, scoring 12 tries.
"I'm delighted to add another year on to my current contract here at Salford," Welham said.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my first season here as we managed to finish in the top four after the regular Super League season as well as reach the semi-final of the Challenge Cup.
"The aim for us as a group is to carry on building this season and continue to make Salford a force on the field, which I'm definitely looking forward to being a part of."
Red Devils chief executive Ian Blease added: "For me Kris was one of our standout performers last season.
"He slotted in well after arriving from Bradford and became a regular starter for the side and we know how difficult high-performing centres are to come by.
"Kris is ambitious and hungry to help Salford continue in a positive direction and we've rewarded him with a contract extension due to his performances last season."
