According to Southwark News, Millwall recouped the exact transfer fee they paid to Notts County for Langstaff two summers ago.
Before his move to the Championship, Langstaff was prolific in the lower leagues.
He netted 29 goals in 49 games for Notts County in League Two, following a 42-goal campaign in the National League.
His earlier career included six seasons in non-league football, with spells at Gateshead—where he won player of the year—and York City.
Langstaff expressed his ambition to help Salford achieve promotion. "It's what we're all in football for—to be successful, win promotions," he said.
"A couple of the best days of my life have been promotions and I want another one.

I've been at this level before, and I've got more experience now with some top players so hopefully I can share that with the lads."
He added: "I've come here with a lot of ambition, I really want to be successful with Salford City and I want to win promotion so I'm really excited to get started."
Langstaff noted that conversations with the club's owners influenced his decision.
"When you get on the phone to people who have been really successful in this industry, you realise how ambitious they are," he said.
"Those phone calls with the owners attracted me to the football club.
