Salford City have signed defender Richard Nartey on a one-year deal
The 23-year-old, also known as ‘trialist wearing 25’, has joined us after a successful time on trial with the Club including a now-infamous appearance against Rotherham United.
His career begun at Chelsea and included a loan spell at Burton Albion, followed by a move to Burnley and a spell at Mansfield Town on loan.
After leaving Burnley earlier in the summer he says the atmosphere and playing style convinced him that Salford was his next move.
“I’m really happy to just get it over the line, I’ve been here for a week and a half now so I’ve met the lads and everything already and after the first couple of days I knew that I wanted to be here.
“As soon as I came here, met the lads, the philosophy and how the Gaffer wants us to play, I think it just suited how I’ve grown up and I feel motivated that we can push and do really well this season.
“I’m comfortable on the ball, that’s something that I spoke to the Gaffer about a lot, just wanting to play my game, be on the ball, but also hopefully as the fans saw against Rotherham I can do a bit of the defensive side as well, as any defender needs to do!”
