Crawley have signed young Chelsea goalkeeper Mitch Beeney on loan.

The 20-year-old will be at the Checkatrade Stadium until January 3.

He came through the youth ranks at Gillingham before moving on to Chelsea and had four games in League Two with Newport County last season.

Reds head coach Dermot Drummy said: "I know Mitch well from my time at Chelsea and he is a great addition to our squad.

β€œHe has got lots of experience at under-21 level both here and overseas but he needs to get Football League experience and this is his opportunity, to fight with Yusif Mersin and of course Glenn Morris for the goalkeeper's spot.”
