Manager John Gorman has been scouting for League One players to join his club and contracted the pair to see if they were interested in joining his club. The manager said,
"It's great because they're two experienced players who simply want to play football. They are willing to themselves through the paces in order to get a contract which shows how much they love the game."
Speaking on Salako a player he has worked with his his younger days he said,
"John is so fit and such a good footballer it looks like he may come on tour with us"
Martin Allen has released the two players but had offered them both the oppertunity to train with the club pre-season if they could not make other arrangements for themselves.
