Salford City announce four July friendlies including local derby

Salford City have confirmed four friendly fixtures as part of their pre-season heading into next season.

The Ammies will face a mix of opponents from higher and lower divisions across July, including a local derby against Bolton.

The Trotters will visit Moor Lane on Saturday 22 July, fresh from a succesful season winning the EFL Trophy.

Salford will open their pre-season visiting Northern Premier League side Radcliffe FC on 8 July.

Championship side West Bromwich Albion will then visit the Peninsula on Wednesday 19 July, seeing former player Brandon Thomas-Asante return to Salford.

The striker played 126 games over three seasons at Moor Lane, scoring 30 goals, and was a beloved player among the Salford faithful.

Following the Bolton game a few days later, the Ammies will travel north to play AFC Fylde at Mill Farm on Saturday 29 July.

The EFL League Two season starts on the first weekend of August, with the fixture list announced on Thursday 22 June.
