Defender secures Salford City deal following Wigan Athletic release
Will Aimson has joined League Two outfit Salford City following his release from Wigan Athletic.
The 32-year-old centre-back was one of eight senior players freed by Latics at the end of last term.
And he has wasted little time in getting fixed up with the Ammies.
Having won promotion from the fourth tier on three occasions - with Blackpool, Bury and Plymouth Argyle - he believes his new club are well equipped to keep that run going.
Salford made it all the way to the play-off final last season, before losing to Notts County at Wembley.
“Promotion is something that I want to achieve this season," said Aimson. "There is a clear plan at this football club and an ambition that fits me.
"I want to win football games and I want to be successful. Having promotions out of this league already, I want another one and that was the sole reason to come to this football club, to be successful.
“The squad is brilliant and we are adding to it so it is going to be an amazing squad going into this season.
“I am athletic, quick, and I like to think that I am a leader. I am comfortable on the ball, like to play and be aggressive, so I am really looking forward to it.”
Aimson’s central defensive partner from last season at Wigan, Jason Kerr, joined Scottish Premiership outfit Hibernian last week.
The other six players released by Latics this summer – Steven Sessegnon, Tyrese Francois, Luke Robinson, Jack Hunt, Toby Savin and Matty Corran – have yet to get fixed up.
