Salford City FC sign midfielder Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu

Salford City FC have bolstered their midfield with the signing of English-Ghanaian midfielder Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu from Plymouth Argyle on a multi-year contract.

The 26-year-old has already joined the squad ahead of Saturday’s League Two meeting with Chesterfield, giving the Ammies an experienced option at a busy stage of the season.

Wiredu came through Charlton Athletic’s academy before building a solid reputation in the lower leagues with spells at Colchester United and Fleetwood Town. He then moved to Plymouth in 2025 and has now made the switch to Greater Manchester in search of a fresh challenge. He is known for his energy, physical presence and versatility, and can also fill in at the back when needed.

“I’m buzzing to be here and I can’t wait to get started,” Wiredu said. “We know what the ambition is and what we want to do this season.”

He also described himself as a player who works relentlessly without the ball, stays composed in possession and contributes goals when possible. Away from football, Wiredu has launched a foundation supporting young people in England and Ghana through sport.

The transfer still needs approval from the relevant authorities, but Salford have already welcomed him and his family to the club.
