Jack Powell spent four years as a Crawley player
Crewe have signed midfielder Jack Powell on an initial two-year deal from League Two rivals Crawley Town.
Powell, who started out at West Ham before joining Millwall, was Crawley's player of the year last season.
The 29-year-old's arrival at Crewe was confirmed as fellow midfielder Tariq Uwakwe, 23, departed the club by mutual consent.
Former Chelsea reserve player Uwakwe spent 18 months with the Alex, finding the net once in 44 league games.
Powell scored eight goals in 132 league appearances during his four years at Crawley.
He becomes Crewe's fourth signing of the summer, following goalkeeper Harvey Davies, defender Ryan Cooney and winger Shilow Tracey.
