Playing career

Carlisle United

Salkeld came through the youth team at Carlisle United to make his first-team debut under Keith Curle on 4 October 2016, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Charlie Wyke in a 2–0 victory over Blackburn Rovers U23 in an EFL Trophy match at Brunton Park, and won a penalty after being fouled by Wes Brown.[1] On 9 November, he went on to score in a 4–2 win over Fleetwood Town.[2] He signed a developmental contract in May 2017, having completed his scholarship.[3]

On 23 November 2017, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Whitby Town on a one-month loan, who needed a replacement for the injured John Campbell.[4][5] Then on 31 January 2018, he went on loan to Scottish League Two club Annan Athletic until the end of the 2017–18 season.[6]

Salkeld was released by Carlisle at the end of the 2017–18 season.[7]

Salkeld joined Gateshead permanently in the summer of 2018.[8] Salkeld, like the majority of Gateshead's players and staff, did not have his contract renewed at the end of the season due to financial issues.[9]

On 6 June 2019, Salkeld signed for Scottish Championship club Greenock Morton on a one-year contract.[10]

Style of play

Salkeld is a "powerful, forward thinking" midfielder.[11]

gollark: Radio is just TV with the video signal missing.
gollark: I wonder how hard/expensive it'd be to run your own channel on the satellite system if there are THAT many.
gollark: We have exciting TV like "BBC Parliament".
gollark: Analog TV got shut down here ages ago.
gollark: So I guess if you consider license costs our terrestrial TV is *not* free and costs a bit more than Netflix and stuff. Oops.
