Crawley have signed winger Jason Banton on an initial one-year deal - but skipper Sonny Bradley is on the way out.
Reds have failed to agree terms with the former Portsmouth centre-back.
Banton was most recently with Notts County having had spells at Liverpool, Leicester and Crystal Palace as a youngster.
The 23-year-old London also worked with Reds boss Dermot Drummy at Arsenal.
Drummy said: “I’ve watched his progress and I feel he can open up the way I want to play.”
Reds are close to agreeing new terms with Bobson Bawling and are also set to announce two signings in the next 24 hours.
