The Blackpool-born front-rower has also spent time out on loan at Hull FC this year as well as making a solitary appearance for Championship side Widnes Vikings via dual-registration.

Bullock trained with his new team-mates on Tuesday morning and is in line to make his debut in their Super League clash with Huddersfield Giants on Friday night.

On signing Bullock, Salford coach Paul Rowley said: “We are all pleased to welcome Joe to the club and look forward to seeing him pull on the Salford jersey.

“We took a few knocks on Saturday, so we are grateful for the opportunity to bring in Joe for the foreseeable future.”
