On Sunday afternoon Salford City Reds confirmed one of rugby league's worst kept secrets when they admitted they have accepted "a significant sum" for the 19-year-old former Widnes player.

The Wolves, who are thought to have paid around £200,000 for Myler, will unveil him at a press conference at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Monday afternoon, when they are also expected to announce the capture of Wakefield centre Ryan Atkins and Bradford forward David Solomona.

Myler, who joined the Reds from Widnes in 2008 and played a key role in their National League championship-winning season, had a year left on his contract at The Willows and Salford tried to persuade him to stay by offering him a new deal that would have made him the highest paid player in the history of the club.

Director of football Steve Simms said: "Warrington offered a significant amount of money for his services.

"We have always maintained that we wanted to keep Richie and build our future team around him and other homegrown players. This was reflected in the substantial offer we made for Myler's future services.

"However Warrington were able to offer the player a startling contract and transfer fee for somebody who has only played a handful of games at this level.

"From the club's point of view, it made both good football and business sense to let Richie go as it is pointless to keep a player against his wishes.

"We can now invest the finance back into the squad to strengthen in all areas."
