Crawley have parted company with their promotion-winning boss Scott Lindsey.

He has taken the vacant managerial post at MK Dons.

Assistant manager Jamie Day, coach Carl Laraman and goalkeeper coach Steve Hale will also depart.

An update regarding the club’s managerial status will be announced in due course.

Chairman Preston Johnson said: “Scott was such a big part of the success we had in the last year or so. We wanted Scott to stay with us, but ultimately he made the decision to leave, which we respect.”

Lindsey took Reds from relegation danger in League Two to promotion, beating Dons heavily in the play-off semi-final.

They are off to a respectable start in League One but Lindsey saw several top players leave over the summer.

He has become hugely popular with Crawley fans, whose side host Bolton on Saturday.
