Former Burnley captain Graham Alexander has been named manager of Salford City.

Alexander was last seen at Scunthorpe in March, sacked with the Iron in the playoff places. He's inked a four-year deal.

Manchester United legend and co-owner Gary Neville said: "After what happened last week we had to react quickly. Sporting director, Chris Casper, led the process and when he made the club aware of the opportunity to secure someone of Graham's experience and credibility we moved decisively.

"We have acquired the highest quality of manager in Graham to continue the great work that has been done over the last four seasons.

"We have had stability at this club and we now look forward to a new chapter with Graham, who has accepted a four year deal at SCFC."
