Horsham FC have snapped up former Crawley Town midfielder Ronan Silva.

The 26-year-old becomes manager Dominic Di Paola’s sixth signing ahead of the 2026-27 National League South campaign and is a box-to-box midfielder with a goal-scoring instinct.

Silva signed for League Two outfit Crawley during the 2021-22 season having impressed at then-Southern League Premier Division Central side Biggleswade Town.

He turned out for Eastleigh in the National League and had spells at Farnborough and Hayes & Yeading United before a permanent move to Salisbury in time for the 2024-25 campaign.

He played 38 times for the Whites, scoring eight goals and assisting another six, before a move to Hampton & Richmond Borough last season where he had six goal contributions in 25 matches.

Di Paola said: “He's another one that we tried to sign last year – and thought we were going to get him and then it got delayed and then it didn't happen – so I'm pleased to get it over the line.

“He was the first one I spoke to when the season ended. Hopefully we can get him in there and playing.

“He's another really talented footballer – good on the ball, good presence in there, got lots of experiences at step two.

“He knows a couple of our boys, so that's always good as well.”
