Denny Solomona will make his controversial Sale debut on Sunday as the Sharks take on Saracens in the Champions Cup.
The free-scoring Kiwi switched from Rugby League in the off season after resigning from his contract with Castleford and his arrival in Salford was confirmed earlier this week.
He will be “straight in the deep end” against the European champions on Sunday but he is looking forward to it.
He said: “Everyone at the club has been very welcoming and it has helped because I knew Sammy Tuitupou, Jonny Leota, TJ Ioane and Halani Auilika before I arrived. Also I have played against Josh Charnley in the past.
“I have played full-back, centre and wing and I don't really have a preference and will do my best whatever position I am asked to play by Steve Diamond. I have been training with the lads all week and will learn today whether I am starting or on the bench for Sunday's game against Saracens.
“The AJ Bell Stadium is a great venue and the lads have told me that the fans get right behind the team and create a great atmosphere, I am really looking forward to the game and playing my part to help the club achieve its' ambitions.”
