Adrian Mariappa: Salford City centre-back signs new one-year contract

Adrian Mariappa helped Salford City reach the League Two play-offs last season

Salford City centre-back Adrian Mariappa has signed a new one-year contract to remain with the club for the 2023-24 League Two season.

The 36-year-old initially joined the Ammies on a short-term deal in March and made nine appearances.

During his time with the club, the former Watford and Crystal Palace defender helped Salford reach the fourth-tier play-offs.

He will rejoin the club on his return from international duty with Jamaica.

In May, Salford had announced that Mariappa was to be released, but he will now feature for Neil Wood's team alongside summer signings Alex Cairns, Luke Garbutt and Ossama Ashley.
