Salford City have confirmed the signing of English-born Ghanaian midfielder Brendan Sarpong Wiredu on a multi-year deal from League One side Plymouth Arygle.
The athletic midfielder has linked up with 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.
A graduate of the Charlton Athletic academy, the 26-year-old is well versed across the third and fourth tiers through spells at Colchester United and Fleetwood Town before his move to Home Park in 2025, and he is capable covering in defence if required.
On joining the Club and what he can add to the squad, he 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.”
Earlier this year Brendan also launched his own Foundation which aims to educate, empower and engage 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 through 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 in the meantime we extend a warm welcome to Salford to Brendan and his family!
