The Gambia International and Salford City FC left full-back Ibou Touray has been named in the EFL League Two Team of The Season 2022/23.
The Salford City captain is making the selection for the second time in three seasons after his inaugural nomination in the 2020/21 season. Ibou is the only African to make a list this year.
Salford described his current season as his “best statistical season.” This is evident by the numbers he produced so far across all competitions.
The 28-year-old registered ten assists in all competitions this season while leading his club towards their dreams of promotion to the League One next season.
Ibou signed for Salford City FC in 2017 and debuted in the same year. He went on to help the club return to their current league competition in 2019 through playoffs and winning the EFL trophy in the same campaign.
In January 2023, Ibou achieved a milestone of 250 appearances with the club, becoming the long-serving player in the club’s history and the only player remaining in the team from the 2019 promotion-winning squad. In addition, he won his 100th clean sheet for the club in January this season.
