Crawley have signed former Albion midfielder Romain Vincelot.

The 32-year-old Frenchman was one of the pluses of the Seagulls’ debut season at the Amex in 2011-12, making 15 Championship appearances under the management of Gus Poyet.

Vincelot, who can play in various midfield and defensive roles, went on to play for Leyton Orient and Coventry.

He has most recently captained Bradford City in League One.

Vincelot, who arrives for an undisclosed fee, has signed a two-year deal and will take the No.20 he also wore for the Seagulls.
