A breakthrough year in 2024 saw the goalkeeper step up from Blackburn's Under-18s to their Under-21s squad, while also earning places in the first-team matchday squad for Championship fixtures.

Michalski also gained valuable senior experience during loan spells with Bamber Bridge and City of Liverpool FC before making his Blackburn Rovers first-team debut at the start of the 2025-26 season, starting their Carabao Cup tie against Bradford City at Ewood Park.

Osman Kamara - Blackburn Rovers

Crawley Town Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of winger Osman Kamara.

The exciting 19-year-old winger arrived at Blackburn after spending more than a decade in Arsenal's Academy, having joined the Gunners ahead of the 2014-15 campaign. Kamara progressed through the ranks to become a regular for Arsenal's Under-21s side.

Born in London, Kamara has also represented Sierra Leone at international level, featuring at the 2025 Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations.

The winger enjoyed a prolific 2023-24 campaign, reaching double figures for goals and continued to impress while at London Colney. Kamara's impressive performances earned him a move to Blackburn in February of this year.

Now making the move to Crawley Town, Kamara arrives with an excellent technical pedigree and a wealth of experience from one of the country's leading academies. The club looks forward to supporting his continued development and is excited to see him showcase his attacking talent in a Reds shirt.

Nathan Tinsdale - Hull City

The versatile midfielder arrives from Hull City, where he began his professional career after signing his first professional contract with the Tigers in 2023. Comfortable operating in a deeper midfield role or further forward, Tinsdale is recognised for his technical ability and versatility.

Before joining Hull City, Tinsdale spent a decade in Bradford City's Academy, earning a move to the Championship club following a successful trial.

Nathan made his senior debut on the first day of the 2025/26 league season, coming off the bench away at Coventry City. Tinsdale remained with the first-team throughout that season.

Tinsdale was recently away in Turkey with the Tigers’ first-team, where he assisted the club’s first goal of pre-season.
