Crawley Town parts ways with promotion-winning skipper with 34-word statement

Crawley Town’s promotion-winning captain Dion Conroy has left the club after four years at the Broadfield Stadium.

The former Chelsea and Swindon defender lifted the League Two Play-off Trophy in 2024 as Reds completed a historic campaign.

He remained as club captain until January this year when Scott Lindsey made Jay Williams skipper.

Having joined the Reds from Swindon Town in 2022, the 30-year-old made 103 appearances for Crawley during his time at the club.

The club statement read: “We can confirm that Dion Conroy will be leaving the club by mutual agreement. We thank Dion for the four years he spent at the club and wish him every success in the future.”

In response to the news, GH Away Travel replied on X: “Good luck for your future career - as has been said before was outstanding in our promotion season with everyone expecting us to be relegated - you will always be remembered as our winning captain at our first ever game at Wembley - Thank you for your service to our club.”

Ryan (@LowerThanRy) said: “Regardless of what people think, he was brilliant in the promotion winning season. Best decision for everyone to part now though.”

Hugh (@SussexAH): said: “Captained the club to its greatest triumph at Wembley. Stayed to fight for the cause when many others fled. A great servant overall and will always have the status of having lead a team to promotion.”

Conroy becomes a free agent following his departure.
