Ian Watson brought Luke Yates to Salford following his elite season with London Broncos in Super League and has now taken him with him to pastures new in Huddersfield.

Yates is the epitome of effort and has impressed in both his seasons in Super League, posting immense defensive stats through his visually impressive hard-hitting style.

The former Newcastle Knights man is one of the more underrated players in the league but ranks among the best back rowers on his defensive stats alone.
