Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Door shut on Lamine Cissé
Crawley Town asked and Stoke City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Danilo Orsi signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Danilo Orsi commits to Crawley Town for another 2 years.

Tempers go at Crawley Town
Taylor Richards was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

One of our own: Adam Spencer joins the Crawley Town first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Adam Spencer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Crawley Town promote Anthony Ross from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Anthony Ross has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Michael Carter steps up from the Crawley Town academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Michael Carter has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

No place for Hugo Oviedo in the new shape

In brief
- The dugout Lewis Richards knocks on the manager’s door
- Looking ahead Akin Odimayo faces his old club
- Squad Danilo Orsi still has not settled
