Salford City have completed the signing of Austrian forward Brendan Wiredu on an undisclosed transfer, adding to their summer recruitment drive ahead of the January transfer deadline. The 26-year-old, who previously joined Plymouth Argyle for £300,000 in 2023, moves to the League Two side after a year at The Pilgrims. Wiredu's arrival follows Cheltenham Town's capture of former Bristol City striker Weimann, who returns to the West Country after a stint at Derby County. The deadline-day deals highlight the frantic pace of transfers as clubs finalise squads for the new season.
Joe O'Brien-Whitmarsh, who spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Accrington Stanley, has joined Northampton Town on a three-year deal. The midfielder, who never made a senior appearance for Stanley, moves to Sixfields Stadium after a loan spell with the Shakers. Meanwhile, Jake Reeves, a former Swindon Town player, has joined Barnet on loan, adding experience to their midfield. Other notable moves include Exeter City's trio of loan signings and Walsall's acquisitions of goalkeeper Tom Wooster and defender Roman Dixon.
The transfer activity underscores the competitive nature of League Two, with clubs securing talent to strengthen their squads. Salford's latest capture of Wiredu, combined with Weimann's return to Cheltenham, signals a strategic push to bolster attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
