“Salford City has achieved so much success in a short space of time, the fans are in incredible and I’m really excited to be spending more time in Salford again.”

A statement by the Class of ’92 welcomed their old friend and former team-mate.

The CO92 said: “From the very beginning we wanted David to be involved and be with us on this incredible journey however circumstances and commitments didn’t allow that.

“Now the time is right and it’s another exciting chapter in Salford City’s history.

“It is important to emphasise that nothing will change in the day to day operations but to have us all together was always the vision.”

The group of former united players bought the club in 2014 when they were in Premier League Division North.

They are now in the National League and knocking on the door of League 2.
