Crawley Town midfielder Emmett O’Connor has joined Lewes on loan for a month.

The 22-year-old Canadian has made seven appearances for the Reds this season, including four in League One, but has not featured since the game at Leyton Orient on Boxing Day.

He joined Crawley last summer after paying his own air fare to England for a trial.

Crawley head coach Paul Groves said: “Emmett needs competitive football so this is a good opportunity for him and we wish him all the best for the loan period.”

O’Connor could make his debut at home to Enfield Town tomorrow evening.
