Salford sign striker Bird from Exeter

Jay Bird scored six goals in 11 games last season on loan with Rochdale

Salford City have signed striker Jay Bird for an undisclosed fee from Exeter City.

Bird joins with the League Two club on a two-year deal, having spent just 12 months in Devon.

He managed only two goals in 19 games for Exeter last season, but then scored six in 11 matches during a loan spell in the National League with Rochdale.

"Last season just showed how well they were doing, and I definitely think that by coming here and being a part of this team, something can happen this year," said Bird.

Salford finished eighth last season, missing out on the play-offs on the final day.
