English Second Division team Salford City official: Former Premier League and Serie A striker Borini joins the team

Hupu News on October 17th: English League Two club Salford City (Salford City) officially announced that former Premier League and Serie A forward Fabio Borini has joined the team and signed a short-term contract.

The 34-year-old Borini became a free agent after leaving Sampdoria this summer and has been training with the Salford City first team for the past month. Since forward Jay Bird was injured and will be out for a long time, the club decided to sign the experienced Italian shooter.

Borini came from the youth training camps of Bologna and Chelsea, and has played for clubs such as Roma, Liverpool, Sunderland and AC Milan in his career. He has played for the Italian U21 national team and the adult national team, and entered the European Cup finals with the team.

When talking about the experience of joining, Borini said: "It's all great. I originally just came to train, maintain my condition, and was in the transition period between contracts. Salford City, the head coach and Alex Bruce were very friendly and allowed me to use the facilities here and train with the team. What I can bring is experience, but not only on the field, but also off the field, such as the training attitude of leading by example, game management, etc. Of course, I have never played in League Two. , I also need to learn the characteristics of this level from my teammates. Whether they learn from me or I learn from them, I approach this challenge with an open mind. This was a challenge that I chose and threw myself into because I longed for real football, the feeling that would rekindle my passion. "

Salford City confirmed that the club has received approval from the Football Association (FA) and the English Football League (EFL) as well as international transfer permission. Borini will wear the No. 16 jersey and is officially included in the team's EFL registration list, ready to play at any time.
