Swinton Lions have announced a series of squad additions and player retentions ahead of the 2027 rugby league season.

Head coach Anthony Murray has added depth to his roster by signing young players from Super League academy systems. Back Tom Marshall joins from Warrington Wolves, while forward Sam Oakes has signed from St Helens.

The club has also secured permanent deals for players with previous Championship and League One experience.

Forward Mike Porter has signed a permanent contract following a loan spell from Wigan Warriors, and utility back Dan Abram returns to the club after spending the previous season at Hunslet.

In addition to new arrivals, the Salford club has extended the contracts of several current squad members to maintain positional continuity.

Adam Jones, Aaron Willis and Dante Morley-Samuels have all signed new extensions, joining club captain Gav Rodden on the roster for the upcoming campaign.

The squad updates coincide with the club’s preparations for its 160th anniversary. A heritage celebration event is scheduled for 20 November to mark the history of the club, which was established in 1866.
