Reds have not had the start to the league season they would have hoped in regards to results, but Kevin Betsy and WAGMI United have built a squad full of talent that have showed what they can do in the League Cup wins over League One Bristol Rovers and Premier League Fulham.
And on Transfer Deadline Day Betsy added two more signings to his squad with both Tom Fellows and Caleb Chukwuemeka joining on loan.
Here is a look at all 17 signings Betsy and co have signed since taking over the club.

. Dom Telford
On June 24 this summer, Crawley announced one of their biggest signings ever, Dom Telford. Last season, Telford finished his 2021/22 campaign as League Two’s top scorer whilst playing for Newport County. After 37 league games, the former Stoke City man scored 25 goals and registered three assists. ‘We have beaten off some extremely good competition to sign Dom (Telford), including teams from higher divisions,’ said Kevin Betsy, Crawley’s new manager. ‘He has extremely high ability and an excellent goal record. To secure this signing is massive for us.’ If there were ever a statement Crawley’s new owners could have made to prove a point in League Two, it was this one. Photo: James Boardman
. James Balagizi
At only 18 years old, James Balagizi has joined Crawley Town for the upcoming campaign as an exciting prospect. On loan from Liverpool, Balagizi has played more than 50 times for his parent club and boasts experience for England as a youth player. ‘He’s an extremely talented young man who I have known for a very long time,’ said Betsy, who gave Balagizi his England debut whilst manager of their under 15s side. ‘He is highly thought of at Liverpool, so for them to trust us with a real asset of theirs speaks volumes for the club.’ Photo: Derek Martin
. Dion Conroy
Dion Conroy has joined the Reds this summer with a wealth of experience in League Two. At 26 years old, he played over a hundred times for his former club, Swindon Town. As a leader from defence, last season Conroy captained his side 41 times and was a crucial part of them reaching the play-offs. Conroy was released by Swindon Town at the end of 2021/22 season and following his impressive campaign, many clubs were interested. ‘This shows the level of players that we can attract,’ boasted Betsy, when interviewed upon Conroy’s arrival. ‘It’s a real coup for us.’ With plenty of young faces having been brought into the club, Conroy is a great player to balance out the squad’s maturity.

. Tobi Omole
Last season, Tottenham Hotspur were desperate to keep one of their most promising young defenders, Tobi Omole in North London. At 23-years-old, the Englishman had developed nicely in Premier League Two having made 52 appearances. This summer though, he joined Crawley Town on a free transfer, keeping him with the Red Devils for two years. Whilst Kevin Betsy looks to transform the club tactically, Omole fits right into the new system. As a ‘ball playing centre-back’, the former Arsenal youth player will be crucial for the team keeping possession and building attacks from the back. Photo: CTFC
9. Jayden Davis
Davies scored in the club's nine goal thrashing of East Grinstead. ‘He brings a lot of energy to the midfield area,’ said Betsy on the addition of Davies to the club. ‘He’ll be pushing for places.’ He came through the youth academy at Milwall. Photo: CTFC

The first of Crawley’s ten signings so far, was former Crewe Alexsandra right-back, Travis Johnson. ‘Ever since I heard about the interest, I have not been able to stop thinking about it,’ said the 21-year-old. ‘I’m buzzing to have gotten the deal over the line.’ Johnson signed for Betsy’s side as a highly rated youngster on a free transfer. As the club look to rebuilt their defence and challenge for promotion, the full-back is a great addition alongside Omole, Conroy and Addai. Photo: ctfc

Another of Crawley’s signings this summer that made his mark as a trialist, is 24-year-old goalkeeper, Corey Addai. Addai started and kept a clean sheet against Eastbourne Borough, on July 2. Two days after that pre-season friendly, the former Arsenal youth academy player was jetted off to Spain on the club’s pre-season tour. ‘It made complete sense to sign here,’ said Addai, standing on a Spanish roof-top in his first ever interview for the club. ‘When Crawley came up it was the perfect option for me.’ Last season, Addai played took a brief spell in Denmark, playing for Esberj FC. As another player who’s keen and comfortable on the ball, Addai will hope he can play a crucial role in League Two this season. Photo: Lydia Redman
