Crawley have signed midfielder Neil Jenkins from Southend.

Jenkins, a former Wimbledon trainee and England under-20 international, has been released after making more than 60 appearances in two years at the Division Three club.

The 22-year-old will be the third member of the Jenkins family to play for Crawley. Older brother Mark made 25 appearances between 1993-95 and Paul played twice.

Jenkins has signed a pre-contract for a two-year deal which will start when his current agreement at Southend expires.

Manager Francis Vines said: "Neil is a good age with Football League experience and has a real hunger to succeed."

Crawley Reserves will play Albion next season after joining the Pontins Holidays Combination League.

Reds will play in the Central and East Division which also includes QPR, Millwall and Reading.

Joe Vines and Barry Moore have both been put on contract at Lewes. Vines spent last season on dual registration forms from Crawley but has now committed himself to the Rooks. Moore has turned down several offers from Conference clubs to stay.
