Wanted last winter by Dan Șucu at Rapid, Fabio Borini signed with Salford
Fabio Borini has signed a contract with England's fourth-tier Salford after training with the team recently.
“I came to train to keep fit during this transition period between contracts and Salford, manager Karl Robinson and Alex Bruce, were kind enough to let me use the club's facilities and train here.
I have never played in League Two before, so I also have to learn from my colleagues what are the main characteristics of this championship. But I come as an open book, so that they can learn from me, use me, or even help me.
I am very open to this challenge. It's a challenge I chose to accept with an open heart, because I felt the need for real football, the kind of football that warms your soul, not for money or anything else,” Fabio Borini told the club's official website.
