Crawley Town have re-signed midfielder Anthony Grant on a short-term deal.

The 36-year-old joined the club in March as a free agent and made 10 appearances as Crawley managed to avoid relegation from League Two.

He stayed at the club after his deal ended in May and has earned a contract after impressing in pre-season.

Grant, who has made more than 600 senior appearances in a 19-year career, worked with Crawley boss Scott Lindsey at Swindon Town.

"Granty was a key player for us at the end of last season," Lindsey told the Crawley website.

"We weren't in a position to offer him a contract at that time, but I wanted to make sure that I invited him back for pre-season.

"He came in and was great for us, and comes with a wealth of experience, so I am delighted to have him back on board with us."
