Salford City Announce Released and Retained List
Announcement Follows the Decision to End the League Two Season
The announcement follows the decision to bring the 2019/20 League Two season to an abrupt end due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Graham Alexander’s side sat in 10th place in League Two before the season was suspended in March. They won four of their previous five games, meaning they sat just outside of the play-off places.
However, now the season has been brought to an end, the Ammies can now start planning for next season.
