Crawley Town are today set to complete the signing of Republic of Ireland under-21 international Adrian Deane.
The London-born winger, 21, who has four international caps, was released by Charlton Athletic in the summer.
He is the second signing manager Francis Vines has made this week following the capture of former Albion defender Ryan Palmer on Monday.
Palmer, 24, played one game for the Seagulls in the 2000-01 season and has featured in all of Crawley's pre-season friendlies.
Both players are due to be in the squad for tonight's hastily arranged friendly at Kingstonian (7.45pm).
Vines said: "Adrian Deane has a trial with Gillingham in two weeks, but those sort of sides have already got most of their players so I'm confident we will keep him."
