Salford City suffered League Two play-off final heartbreak as Notts County battled to a 3-0 win in the gruelling 36C heat. My on the whistle report from earlier for @SalfordNow, not a pleasant one to write. #nottscounty very good and worthy winners. salfordnow.co.uk/2026/05/25/sal…

A dream come true to be covering a game at Wembley today. I've had the time of my life reporting on Salford City for a living. In yr 7 I was ecstatic to get a response from Slaven Bilic, who I wrote to in form class at school in Doncaster. Finally matched that excitement today!

Had a fantastic time travelling down to Crawley with hardy #salfordcity supporters on the final day of the regular season for @SalfordNow. Met so many great characters and it was a great reminder that football is about more than the full-time score: salfordnow.co.uk/2026/05/25/on-…

Salford City manager Karl Robinson branded Southampton FC’s conduct “a disgrace” after the club were expelled from the Championship play-off final for spying on other teams’ training sessions. For @SalfordNow. #spygate #salford #southampton salfordnow.co.uk/2026/05/20/sou…

Covering @SalfordCityFC's media day ahead of their League Two play-off final against Notts County at Wembley for @SalfordNow. ⚽ Robinson, open and outspoken as ever, answered at length about the Class of 92, the pressures of the occasion and gave a damning verdict on #spygate.

@SalfordCityFC book their place at Wembley with a dramatic extra-time victory over @officialgtfc. What a win! #salford @SalfordNow salfordnow.co.uk/2026/05/15/kal…

"Before the baker created the Eccles cake, it didn’t exist. I want you to do the same for Salford for beer. What is the beer of Salford?” 🍺 Lark Hill's head brewer Jack explained how he answered this high-stakes question. @SalfordNow #beer #salford salfordnow.co.uk/2026/05/12/ins…

Salford MP Rebecca Long-Bailey has called for Sir Keir Starmer to “set out a timetable” for a new Prime Minister to be elected following the Labour's disastrous local election results in the city and across the country. @SalfordNow #salford #politics salfordnow.co.uk/2026/05/12/bre…

Karl Robinson admitted that @SalfordCityFC were fortunate not to have Adebola Oluwo’s winning goal ruled out for offside as they beat Grimsby Town 2-1 in their play-off semi-final first leg. ⚽ #efl #leaguetwo #salford @SalfordNow salfordnow.co.uk/2026/05/10/kar…

At Blundell Park ahead of @SalfordCityFC's trip to @officialgtfc for @SalfordNow. 3 changes to report for the Ammies. Kelly N'mai, Kallum Cesay and Haji Mnoga IN for Princewill Ehibhatiomhan, Rosaire Longelo and Oliver Turton. Big game on the way! ⚽ #salford #playoffs

En route to Cleethorpes for the 1st leg of @SalfordCityFC's play-off semi-final at @officialgtfc for @SalfordNow. Roped into doing a pretty hefty TPE survey. Hoping Karl Robinson's men tick all the boxes against a side they've been beaten by twice this season. ⚽ #Salford #efl
