Salford City have signed former Liverpool and Preston North End midfielder Ben Woodburn on a two-year deal.
The 24-year-old began his career with the Reds and made a total of 11 appearances for the club whilst also having a spell on loan at Oxford United where he played under current Ammies boss Karl Robinson.
A Wales international, Woodburn made 63 appearances for North End prior to his release at the end of last season.
鈥淥bviously, I have a bit of a connection as I played under the gaffer at Oxford, me and him got on really well, and it was a bit of a pull to come here with him also being the manager,"
鈥淚 really enjoyed my time under Karl, it was a shame it got cut short with an injury that I had, but, I am just really excited to get back playing under him.
鈥淢ost teams that I have been at, we鈥檝e been pushing for the top end of the table, so hopefully we can do that here and get Salford back where they should be, near the top of the table.鈥
