Former Manchester United ace Ryan Giggs is back in football as he looks to rebuild his career.

Giggs was axed as Wales manager when he was arrested and eventually charged with domestic violence.

Since being cleared of those charges in court, Giggs has now been appointed as director of football at Salford.

The club, which he co-owns with Phil Neville, Gary Neville, David Beckham, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes, are in League Two.

Butt, who replaced Gary Neville as chief executive in October, said of the Class of 92's plans for the team: "We are backing Salford City with as much commitment and confidence as ever. We have achieved very special things here but there are major opportunities in front of us and we want to make sure we have the right mix of investment and strategic partners to take advantage of those opportunities.

"We had an original 10-year plan and with strong foundations now in place, it was always the intention to explore options for the next phase. That includes potentially bringing in new partners to help us grow the club and best serve the fans and community."
