BREAKING | Blues bring in midfielder Burton from Salford

Chester Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Scott Burton from Salford City.

The 30-year-old midfielder links up with Joint-Managers Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley for a third time.

Their first spell together was at Ramsbottom United – having signed Scott from Runcorn Town.

Burton then joined Johnson and Morley at Salford City – and flourished in midfield as the club made their rise to the Vanarama National League.

Scott was named Players’ Player of the Season at the Ammies for the 2016/17 season. He made 125 appearances for the club and scored four goals.

Welcome to Chester FC, Scott!
