New Signing
Salford City announced the signing of Brendan Wiredu on a multi-year deal from League One side Plymouth Argyle. The 26-year-old athletic midfielder has joined the squad ahead of Saturday’s Sky Bet League Two clash with Chesterfield at AIG Stadium, after an undisclosed transfer was agreed with the Pilgrims.
Player Profile
Wiredu is a graduate of the Charlton Athletic academy and has experience across the third and fourth tiers, having played for Colchester United and Fleetwood Town before moving to Plymouth in 2025. He is capable of covering in defence if required. In a statement to the club, Wiredu said: “I’m buzzing to be here and I can’t wait to get started. We know what the ambition is and what we want to do this season, so to come here and be a part of that is a key reason why I wanted to join and be part of a successful team. I’m someone that leaves it all on the pitch, out of possession relentless, someone that’s going to be in the opposition’s face. On the ball calm and composed, get it down and play, and here and there add a few goals in. Hopefully I can add a lot to what is already a very talented squad.”
Community Work
Earlier this year Wiredu launched his own foundation aimed at educating, empowering and engaging young people through sport in England and Ghana, inspired by his own journey. He added: “From where I’ve come from in East London, I’m very much a community person, brought up in a community household, so I want to give something back. Being able to share my knowledge and experiences to a younger generation through sports is key and it’ll hopefully help them on the right track.”
The completion of the deal is subject to approval from the relevant authorities, but the club has extended a warm welcome to Wiredu and his family.
