Club career

Rhoose

Youth Team

Upon his arrival at the club, Salato began training at the Wreck up the local field, the club's training field. While undergoing training, he was likened to the Manchester United F.C. midfielder Paul Scholes by many coaches, including the player himself. Salato played in the club's under-10's team that finished in first place in the Sausage and Chips Cup during the 2008–09 season. The following season he began making appearances for the club's senior reserve team, but he never got a chance so he went back to the youth team.

2009–10 season

With Salato beginning to get better and better each training session and whenever he played, he would begin to start more and more games of where then he would begin to play better and better. With his first start of the 2009-10 season, he scored twice and gave an assist as a defensive midfielder. After that his goal scoring tally and his assist tally began to slow down but he was still making the difference in games with his goal line clearances and his interceptions. That season he had scouts come and watch him from Llantwit Major (who are a Semi-Proffesional club) to see if he had the potential and ability to play for the senior for Llantwit at the age of 7 and 8. Sadly, he did not get the chance he wanted but they would come calling a few years later down the line.

2010–11 season

Salato's successful campaign in the 20010 season saw the player draw interest from Italian club A.S. Roma|Roma.

2011–12 seasons

Salato scored Rhooses only goal in the Sausage and Chips Cup Llantwit, a team he would join in the future; however his side lost 2–1. The rest of the season was an average season, though he did not score and did not assist, he still got multiple man of the match awards with his brilliant performances. He began to become a fan favorite though with what will happen next, it turned the club upside down. The team split into two with half of the team going to setup their own club and the manager staying where he was. The club got split into to teams the A and the B. Salato was on the B team because he was taking the limelight and other players did not like it. With the A team losing games constantly, they came back for Salato and so he joined the A team for a few months. When he joined he had multiple man of the match performances and scored 2 goals.
