Goulding scored eight tries in 21 appearances last season

Salford City Reds have signed Wigan centre Darrell Goulding on loan in time for their game against Catalans Dragons in Perpignan on Saturday.

The 21-year-old had been linked with a move to Warrington.

Reds coach Shaun McRae said: "Darrell's an exciting young player who provides utility options in the outside backs.

Goulding said: "It's exciting to be joining a club on top form. I was stuck in the reserves at Wigan so this will give me chance to show what I can do."

He added: "I have international aspirations and this will hopefully allow me to push myself regularly at Super League level."

Goulding, who has featured only twice for Wigan this season could cover for Mark Henry against Catalans Dragons as the Australian recovers from a rib injury picked up during the Reds' victory over Leeds.
