Salford City have signed the brother of Manchester City and Italy striker Mario Balotelli, Enoch, on non-contract terms. City are ninth in the Northern Premier League First Division North. The 20-year-old forward, who had trials with several English clubs including Stoke last season, told BBC Sport: �I am more than happy to join Salford. �I just want to play football. I trained with them last night, I enjoyed it, so I signed.� Chairman Darren Quick told BBC North West Sport: �He�s been training with us and he�s signed for us, subject to international clearance. �It�s great for Salford. We hope he can play a few games for us and he can use it as a stepping stone to find a level more suited to him. �I�ve not met him but I�m told he�s a really nice lad and a really good footballer. �We play a decent standard of football but some lads don�t want to drop to that level. �These things can work for both parties. We might get a few more through the gate, and maybe his brother might even come and watch us.� The club have said it could take up to two weeks for international clearance to come through. Balotelli�s brother Mario, 22, joined City in August 2010 for a reported fee of around �24m.
