Crawley Town have brought in full-back Lewis Richards from Bradford City and re-signed former Red Devils wing-back Kellan Gordon on permanent deals.

Both players have joined for undisclosed fees and have each signed 18-month contracts with the League Two strugglers.

Gordon, 28, returns after two years with Notts County but, as per the terms of the deal, will not be eligible to face the Magpies when they visit the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday.

He becomes the third member of Crawley's 2023-24 promotion-winning squad to re-join the club in the past week, following the returns of Danilo Orsi and Klaidi Lolos.

Meanwhile, Richards, 24, made 64 appearances for Bradford and scored three goals in two-and-half seasons for the club.

He played 22 League Two games in Bradford's promotion-winning campaign last season.

Having begun his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Richards spent time on loan at Harrogate Town before moving to Bradford in 2023.
