Salford City have announced the permanent signing of winger Dan Chesters from West Ham United. The 22-year-old, who initially joined the Ammies on loan in February, has signed a two-year deal with the club.

Chesters, who impressed during his loan spell with two assists in 13 appearances, expressed his excitement about the move.

"I feel very happy to know that I will be signing as a permanent player! I have really enjoyed it so far, the staff, players, and the fans have all been really welcoming to me and it is really starting to feel like home."

Looking forward to the upcoming season, Chesters said, "I cannot wait to get back with the lads for pre-season and meeting up with everyone again. I have been keeping myself fit, but I have had a couple of weeks off just to rest and relax, and I am very excited and keen to get back into the swing of things now."

Chesters outlined his ambitions for the season, stating, "We want to start pushing on and winning loads of games and racking up the points this season. For me, the main objective is to have a really good season, contribute with goals and to play well, taking players on and helping the team meet its aims of getting promoted."
