The 26-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the Reds and will join North Queensland prop Ray Cashmere and South Sydney half-back Jeremy Smith at Salford in 2009.

Swain was a member of Penrith's Grand Final-winning team in 2003 before joining the Titans in 2007.

Salford director of football Steve Simms said: "Luke is a quality back-rower and has played in the NRL for many years, so he will be bringing plenty of experience to the team next year."

Salford, who have been awarded a three-year Super League licence from 2009, will be presented with the National League One leaders' shield at the end of their home game against Batley on Sunday.
