The Tongan international, who has signed a three-year deal at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, has expressed his excitement at what could be achieved during his spell with the club.

"It’s an honour to become a part of a club with such great history," he said.

"I am really excited for what we as a club can achieve in the future.

"I am really looking forward to hooking up with Steve and the boys and getting stuck in for 2018."

New Wolves head coach Steve Price has also had his say on Murdoch-Masila's signing, claiming the 26-year-old could become an even better player at Wolves.

"Ben is a hell of a ball runner. He’s had a stand-out season this year at Salford earning him a place in the Dream Team," he said.

"I have watched Ben grow with interest when playing back in the NRL to how he has transformed to today.

"I see a lot of upside in Ben as to what he can bring to the club and team, and we will look to guide him into becoming an even better player."
