ONES TO WATCH

Danny Lloyd:

Having began his career at non-league Southport, the 28-year-old winger is now back in the EFL, having won promotion with Salford last season. 

A successful spell at Stockport County saw him earn a move to Peterborough United where he enjoyed a productive 2017/18 campaign before moving to the Peninsula Stadium. 

Cameron Burgess:

A product of Fulham's youth academy, the 24-year-old is spending the season on loan at the Ammies, having signed from Scunthorpe United in the summer. 

Born in Scotland, the centre-back has represented both the Tartan Army and Australia at youth level, as well as spending time on loan at Bury, Oldham Athletic and Cheltenham Town. 

Richie Towell: 

Towell, 28, is in his first season at the Peninsula Stadium, having signed a two-year deal in May. 

Having graduated from Celtic's academy, the former Irish youth international spent two successful loan spells at Rotherham United from Brighton and Hove Albion, from where he signed for the Ammies. 

Jake Jervis:

Towering striker Jervis is on loan at Salford from Luton Town, following a spell at AFC Wimbledon last season. 

The 28-year-old carries a wealth of EFL experience, having represented the likes of Birmingham City and Portsmouth, before appearing 127 times for Plymouth Argyle. 

THE MANAGER

At 48 years old, Graham Alexander already carries a wealth of managerial experience in the EFL. 

He began his career in the dugout as caretaker manager of Preston North End. He then spent three years at Fleetwood Town and two years at Scunthorpe United, before joining the Ammies in 2018. 

As a player, the former defender/midfielder made just under 1,000 senior appearances for Preston, Scunthorpe, Luton Town and Burnley, in addition to representing the Scotland national side on 40 occassions. 

THE CAPTAIN

Skipper Liam Hogan is in his third season at Salford, having joined the club in 2017. 

The centre-back began his career with Halifax Town, making over 100 appearances before moving into EFL action with Salford City. 

The 30-year-old - having spent two seasons on the west coast - then joined his hometown club and has since seen them gain promotion from the National League North to Sky Bet League Two in two seasons.

The Ammies were beaten 1-0 at home to high-flying Exeter City in their last game - last weekend.
