Salford City have made a statement signing by securing former League Two top scorer Macaulay Langstaff for a reported £700,000 from Millwall. The 28-year-old striker, who netted 70 goals in 91 appearances for Notts County, joins the Ammies after two challenging seasons in the Championship. This move underscores Salford’s ambition as they finished 4th in League Two last season with 81 points (25W-6D-15L), just 6 points behind leaders Bromley.

Why Langstaff is a key addition

Langstaff’s prolific scoring record in League Two makes him a prime target for Salford, who scored 61 goals last season but conceded 51. His arrival follows recent signings like Daniel Udoh, Ryan Graydon, and Abraham Odoh, signaling a clear intent to strengthen their attack. With a recent form of LDWDW and a 3-0 loss to Notts County in their last match, Salford are looking to bounce back stronger.

How Salford’s squad shapes up

Salford’s squad is taking shape with a mix of experience and youth. The addition of Langstaff, coupled with the existing talent, positions them as serious promotion contenders. The team’s goal difference of +10 last season highlights their potential, and with key players returning from injuries, they are well-prepared for the upcoming campaign.

What’s next for Salford City

As the transfer window progresses, Salford City are expected to make further additions to their squad. With the League Two season approaching, the focus will be on integrating new signings and building momentum. Fans will be eager to see how Langstaff and the rest of the squad perform in the upcoming fixtures.
