It will be at the Sikh Gurdwara and Community Sport Centre, previously the home of Edwards Sports and Social Club.

There will be two pitches, one of which will be fully operational by September, that will be used on a rotational basis.

Derham said: “We are delighted to have teamed up with the Sikh community to use their facilities at Ifield. They have been extremely welcoming and in a few weeks we will have an excellent base for the players when they report back for pre-season training.

“Dermot is rebuilding the squad for next season but it’s important that we get a proper infrastructure in place as well.

“We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship with everyone at the Sikh Gurdwara and Community Sport Centre and we look forward to welcoming members of Crawley’s Sikh community to our matches next season.”
