Manager Scott Lindsey said: “I’m really pleased to have signed Anthony, he's a real combative midfield player with vast experience and with the injuries that we've sustained of late he will add to our numbers.

“He can also play as a defender so we’re really pleased to have him on board.”

Acting CEO and Director of Football Chris Galley said: “I’m looking forward to Anthony getting out on the pitch for Crawley Town.

“He has been in training with us this season and has shown that he is going to be an important player for us as we battle against relegation.”
