Scott Lindsey wants to lead Crawley up League Two next season after securing EFL safety.

Reds stayed up with a game to spare after a battle against the drop.

A win at Hartlepool in their 44th fixture proved to be the key result.

Lindsey, who took over for the latter part of the campaign, is keen to build on that next term.

He said: “I’m here to stay, obviously.

“I’ve enjoyed my time, enjoyed the supporters.

“I want to improve the squad moving forward and not be in this position next year.”

Reds have announced they will visit two local non-league sides to kick off their pre-season schedule.

They go to East Grinstead Town on Tuesday, July 11 (7.30pm) and Three Bridges on Saturday, July 15 (3pm).
