Crawley Town have signed centre-back Priestley Farquharson on a two-year deal after his release from fellow League Two club Walsall.

The 29-year-old made 59 appearances for the Saddlers in all competitions over the past three years, 35 of them coming last season.

"I am so happy the deal was done so early, as I can now get ready to lock in for the season," Farquharson told the club's official website, external.

"My conversations with the manager [Colin Kazim-Richards] were really positive. We have the same morals, and he knows what he can get out of me, so I can't wait to get started."

Farquharson has also played in League Two with Newport County and had a two-year spell with Cymru Premier side Connah's Quay Nomads.

He began his career playing in English non-league football with Hitchin Town, Billericay Town, Hayes & Yeading United, and Bishop's Stortford.
