A lot of fans were gutted to see the former Eastbourne Borough and Millwall defender leave.

Sam Jordan posted: “Although he didn’t play in the run in @HarryRansom6 played a crucial part in the 6 game stretch at the end of Feb/start of March when we picked up 15 pts from 18 including scoring the winner at Accy. He also started the last 7 games of 22/23 to help keep us in the EFL. Go well H.”

Dan Palmer said: “A shame to see @HarryRansom6 go. Someone who always stepped up when needed and put in solid performances to go with that. Wish you every bit of success, Harry!”

Gary Smith, who commentates of games for the BBC and iFollow posted: “Thanks for everything over the last 3 years Harry. I'm glad I got to call your first Crawley goal at Accrington and thanks for your time post match when called upon. Delighted that you were part of the Wembley squad last Sunday. Good luck with whatever the future holds.”
