Will Salmon signs deal with AFC Telford United

Right-back Will Salmon has put pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at AFC Telford United until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old joined the club on the eve of the Blue Square Bet North season, signing an initial one-month non-contract deal.

But he has gone on to be an ever-present in the Bucks' impressive unbeaten start to the campaign.

And boss Andy Sinton has now thrashed out a deal to keep hold of the Hampshire-based former Aldershot, AFC Wimbledon and Ebbsfleet United man.

"It's all been agreed, it was never in any doubt really," said a delighted Sinton.

"Will's done really, really well and he's happy with the agreement - he recognises that we're building for the future and he wants to be a part of it."

Confirmation of Salmon's extended deal follows hot on the heels of the news that former QPR midfielder Stefan Bailey has also signed an initial one-month non-contract deal.

Bailey, 22, could go straight into the squad for Telford's trip to Corby on Saturday, with Carl Rodgers missing due to a family wedding in Cyprus

Meanwhile, Telford chairman Lee Carter has called for wage caps to force non-League football clubs to live within their means.

Carter is urging the Football Association to introduce "draconian" measures after Ilkeston Town became the latest club to go into liquidation this week.

"The authorities really need to put some draconian measures in place," he said.

"The introduction of a wage cap is necessary. It might not be pleasant but football has asked for it.

"For me, there has to be a wage cap that's related to the turnover or attendance figures as an average across the division.

"Someone somewhere must be able to come up with a formula that is fair for everyone and that football clubs can't get around."
