Promising forward signs from Basingstoke Town

Friday, 26 June 2026 10:49

Salisbury FC have announced that 21-year-old forward Robbie Gallagher is the latest summer addition for the Whites, joining from Southern Premier League outfit Basingstoke Town.

A fan favourite at the Winklebury Sports Complex, Robbie swept up a hat-trick of awards at the end of the 2024/25 season, winning Players' Player, Managers' Player and a Supporters' Club award.

Callum Hart, Assistant Manager, said, “We're delighted to sign Robbie as he's someone we've monitored over a number of seasons now. He's won numerous accolades at Basingstoke over the last couple of seasons. If there's ever a player who would leave everything out on the pitch - it's Robbie. He's very versatile in the attacking areas of the pitch, paired with a lot of senior football for someone who is only 21-years-old. I'm sure he will be a huge hit at the Ray Mac, and I can't wait to see him in a Whites shirt this season."

After joining the Ray Mac-based club, Robbie Gallagher said, "I'm so happy to have signed for Salisbury. I can't wait to get started and am eagerly looking forward to the challenge ahead and get started. Understanding the ambition of the club, it was an opportunity I couldn't turn down. I look forward to meeting all the supporters and giving my all for the badge this year."
