Salford City Secure Key Signings for Euro 2024 and Beyond
In a significant move for the upcoming season, Salford City has announced the re-signing of midfielder Kelly N’Mai and defender Kevin Berkoe to two-year contracts. This strategic move aims to bolster the squad’s depth and experience as the club sets its sights on making an impact in the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers and the domestic football calendar.
Kelly N’Mai: Promising Midfielder
Kelly N’Mai, a 20-year-old midfielder, initially joined Salford City’s academy in 2020 and made his first-team debut in August 2021. The Netherlands-born player has since become a more regular fixture at Moor Lane, making 28 of his 35 League Two appearances for the club last season. Prior to his increased involvement, N’Mai had successful loan spells at Chester and Warrington Rylands, where he honed his skills and gained valuable playing time.
Kevin Berkoe: Experienced Defender
Joining N’Mai in the Salford City lineup is 22-year-old defender Kevin Berkoe, who is one of the club’s longest-serving players. Berkoe first signed for the team in 2020 after departing from Oxford United. During the second half of the previous season, he spent time on loan at National League club Woking, where he continued to develop his defensive abilities.
“These key signings come at a crucial time for Salford City as they look to build a strong squad capable of competing in the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers, the Champions League, and the FIFA World Cup. The club’s management is confident that the experience and talent of N’Mai and Berkoe will be instrumental in their pursuit of success on the national and international football stage.”
Fans of Salford City and football enthusiasts alike can look forward to the upcoming season as the team aims to make a significant impact in the Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and the FA Cup. With these strategic signings, the club is poised to take on the challenges of the 2023-24 campaign and beyond, with their sights set firmly on the ultimate prize – the Africa Cup of Nations and the Women’s World Cup.
