Football News Update: Crawley Town Bolster Defensive Line with Signing of English Centre-Back Josh Flint

Crawley Town Secures Promising Young Defender

In a strategic move to strengthen their defensive unit, Crawley Town have secured the signing of English centre-back Josh Flint. The 23-year-old has joined the club after his contract expired at Dutch club Volendam, where he made 28 appearances last season as they were relegated from the Eredivisie.

Flint, a product of the Portsmouth academy, has now signed a two-year deal with Crawley, subject to international clearance. This latest acquisition comes as Crawley prepare for their upcoming season in League One, having secured promotion from League Two after a thrilling play-off final victory over Crewe Alexandra at Wembley Stadium last season.

“I was really impressed when I watched the play-off final, and this seems to be a really great club to be at,” Flint expressed, sharing his enthusiasm about joining the club.

As the 2023-24 campaign approaches, Crawley Town will be looking to build on their recent success and make an impact in the third tier of English football. The addition of Flint’s experience and defensive prowess will undoubtedly bolster their backline as they aim to challenge for a spot in the EFL Cup, FA Cup, and potentially even a return to the Championship.

Crawley Town will kick off their League One season with a home fixture against Blackpool on Saturday, August 10th, as they seek to continue their upward trajectory and establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the English football pyramid.
