Thanks for that.

IIRC he was a hooker.

His first game was a Sky game against Widnes IIRC. He played well after being a surprise replacement for injured Derms and remember being totally baffled as to who he was or where he had suddenly appeared from. He played pretty well in that game and then scored in a 50-0 (ish) win against leigh at Central Park and then we signed Martin Hall. Dean went off to Halifax I think but may be wrong

I remember being at the Widnes game and it was a complete surprise. Nobody knew who he was

He was, signed pro from St Judes not sure if he's still involved though. He was signed to add some experience to the 'A' team around the time, as was Steve Frost a centre (might have been a few years earlier though), also from Judes. Both very good amateur players.

That doesn't narrow it down much.

Mick Dean played in the 2nd Div Championship final at Old Trafford for Salford against Halifax, it was the early 90s the big match was Hull v Widnes, Shane Hanson (Harrisons dad) was in Salfords team along with a few ex Wiganers. Salford won

Four months between first and last games, played two, won two, had a 50% try scoring record and never played again. By god, the coaches were harsh in them days!!
