Salford coach Richard Marshall said: “I’m really pleased to have Danny working alongside me.
“I spent some time at Castleford when I was head coach at Halifax and he was part of a strong coaching team there.
“I could see how he worked and helped develop the players. He’s an experienced assistant in Super league and will have input in our back play and attack.
“He also has a sound knowledge on defensive systems and kicking too. Taking all that into account, it’s a really good fit for our coaching team and I’m excited to see him develop further here.”
