'Big possibility' - Crawley Town boss says one more Wembley hero could be returning
Scott Lindsey has said there is a ‘big possibility’ another Wembley hero could be returning to Crawley Town.
Reds fans have been in dreamland this week with the signings of Klaidi Lolos and Danilo Orsi, both who played a huge part in their historic 2023/24 campaign.
Lindsey lead the side the victory in the League Two Play-Off final that season, but saw eight of that starting line-up leave the club in the summer of 2024.
But after the return of Lolos and Orsi, fans are hoping there would be more – and it looks like that might happen this week.
"There is a big possibility of one, certainly,” said Lindsey. “But I don't want to say too soon, because we're very close to making at least one more happen of one of the players who was involved in the play-off campaign before.”
The two fan favourites already back at the Broadfield Stadium became the sixth and seventh signings of the January Transfer Window so far after the arrivals of Theo Vassell, Taylor Richards, Tobi Adeyemo, Jonny Russell, Akin Odimayo and Louie Copley and Lindsey is delighted with the recruitment.
"We just want players in the building who are really willing to fight for where we are in the table,” he said. “Of course, I know what Danilo Orsi brings, I know what Lolos brings, I know what the other players that we've signed bring to the table and we look different already, so I'm hoping to see more faces coming in this week.”
It’s another transfer window of big changes to the Reds squad and Lindsey said: “Did I want to make this amount of surgery during the season? Probably not. But the fact of the matter is that we haven't done well.
“We haven't done well enough and I've had to make changes, and the chairman's backed me. And as a manager, I can't ask for more.
“And we've had to do it. When you look at what we're doing in this window, it's actually set up so we don't have to do too much work in the summer.
"It will be kind of like a follow-on, we've pretty much got a ready-made squad for next season and one that we feel can challenge at the top of the table and not be messing around where we are at the moment.”
Crawley Town face Notts County on Saturday.
