WARRINGTON Wolves have now confirmed the loan signing of St Helens prop Kyle Amor.
The Warrington Guardian revealed earlier today that a move to bring the vastly experienced front-rower to The Halliwell Jones Stadium was close to completion.
The Wire have now confirmed the deal, with Amor to spend the remainder of the season with the club.
He will wear the number 32 shirt and will be available to make his debut against Leeds Rhinos on June 3.

“We have been looking to strengthen our front-row options after allowing Rob Butler to leave for Wakefield and I believe Kyle is a quality signing for us midway through the season," head coach Daryl Powell said.
“He will add depth and experience to our squad and I also expect key leadership skills to come from his time at St Helens.
“I’m looking for us to really grow over the second half of the season and Kyle has a perfect opportunity to support us in doing that.”
Ireland international Amor has been a part of the St Helens squad that has won the past three Super League titles but he has played just four times for Kristian Woolf’s side this year.

With more than 300 appearances under his belt, Amor adds experience and depth to the Warrington pack in the short-term.
Thomas Mikaele’s mid-season move from Wests Tigers on a two-and-a-half year deal was confirmed yesterday, with the New Zealander expected to join up with his new teammates next week, while James Harrison is also nearing a return from an ACL injury.
Deals to bring Catalans Dragons pair Sam Kasiano and Gil Dudson to The Halliwell Jones Stadium for next season were also confirmed yesterday.
