Crawley have signed defender Jon Ashton.

The former England non-league international joins from Stevenage where he made more than 220 appearances in six seasons.

The 32-year-old includes Notts County, Oxford United, Rushden & Diamonds and Grays Athletic among his former clubs after starting his career at Leicester City.

Ashton joins on a one-year deal.

Reds boss Mark Yates said: “Jon is a great fit for this club. He’s experienced at League One and League Two level and he’s a winner.

"This is a new challenge for him after a long and successful career at Stevenage and we are delighted to have as experienced a player as him in our squad.”
