Salford City sign Stoke City defender Edwards – extratime.com
Salford City have announced the signing of Tom Edwards on a two year deal.
The defender joins the Ammies from Stoke City where the 25 year old came through the Academy.
“I’ve been around League One and the Championship, but also the MLS where I played for two seasons and that was a great experience for me, and I felt that that was probably the main one which allowed me to grow as a player,” Edwards said, speaking to the club’s website.
“It was an amazing experience, obviously all the travelling that you get to do and all the stadiums you get to play in, and it was quite a young team I was joining, it made me grow as a person, as I had to mature a bit more having played in the English leagues, it was very beneficial for me.”
Edwards made his senior debut in the Premier League for Stoke City during the 2017/18 season and also played in the Championship for the club.
In recent seasons he has spent loan spells with Fleetwood Town, Barnsley and Huddersfield Town as well as two seasons in the USA with New York Red Bulls.
