The Argentinian will return to face his former employers with Whitehawk in the quarter-finals of the Sussex Senior Cup next month.

The 35-year-old was not involved last night when his National League South side beat Lewes 3-0 to book their place in the last eight against Reds.

Torres tweeted his excitement at returning to Crawley, writing: “Great result from the boys @HawksFCOfficial gutted couldn’t be there tonight, will be great to go back to @crawleytown soon.” (sic)

He score seven goals in 122 appearances during four magical years at Crawley in which he played a major part in two promotions and two historic FA Cup runs.

Torres has already faced Crawley during his time at Whitehawk, the Brighton-based outfit inflicted a humiliating 6-1 defeat on Reds at the same stage of the competition last year at the Enclosed Ground.

The club have suggested that a likely date for the clash will be Tuesday, January 10 (7.45pm), but are waiting confirmation.
