Stu M would probably be able to tell us but I think he can also play centre, so there may be opportunities there if Keighran moves on and they promote Eckersley to be the starting centre. It will be a balancing act for them now to make sure there is enough experience in there but that they can open up pathways for the young players.
To be honest I've not seen a huge amount of his games but he played centre for the Academy and Reserves all throughout 2023. He scored a full-length try in a pre-season friendly with Salford last season (2024) but then got injured and missed the whole season.
