The 2022-23 campaign was a season of soaring ambition for Salford City as the Ammies finally clinched a coveted 7th-place finish in League Two, securing their first-ever play-off spot in the professional leagues. Spearheading the attack for Neil Wood's side was Callum Hendry, whose 12 league goals proved vital, ably supported by the firepower of Conor McAleny and Matt Smith. The team also enjoyed a deep run to the EFL Trophy Quarter-finals, and though their promotion dream ended in a heartbreaking play-off penalty shootout defeat, this year marked a historic, defining chapter in the club's relentless push for the next level.
