Salford City has officially released midfielder Ossama Ashley, who is now a free agent and attracting interest from Barnsley FC and Stockport County. The 26-year-old's contract with Salford City is set to expire at the end of the month, marking the end of his three-year stint with the club. During his time at Salford, Ashley made 66 appearances, contributing to the team's efforts in League Two. However, his final season was plagued by injury issues, limiting him to just 18 matches. Notably, he was absent from the recent play-off final at Wembley, where Salford City faced a 3-0 defeat against Notts County. With his departure, both Barnsley and Stockport County are reportedly keen to secure his services as they look to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season. Ashley's experience in the lower leagues could prove valuable for either club as they prepare for their upcoming campaigns.
