Crawley Town make three new signings

Crawley Town have completed a trio of signings this week as manager Steve Evans begins adding to his squad for next season.

The Reds have secured the services of strikers Jefferson Louis and Charles Ademeno, and midfielder Eddie Hutchinson.

Louis had been released by Wrexham with a year still to run on his contract at the Racecourse Ground, despite being their top scorer this season with 18 goals.

The 30-year-old has been something of a journeyman in recent seasons, playing for 12 different clubs since his departure from Woking in 2005.

But he had his best season for many years at Wrexham having been signed originally by Brian Little, before current manager Dean Saunders decided he was surplus to requirements.

Ademeno is the second striker brought in by Evans this week, arriving from Southend United.

The pacy 20-year-old was on loan at Salisbury City last season, scoring six goal in 17 starts, and is seen as a replacement for Jon-Paul Pittman who left Crawley for Wycombe in January.

Hutchinson is the third player to arrive at the Broadfield Stadium this week, the central midfielder transferring from Oxford United after Dannie Bulman moved in the other direction.

Hutchinson, 27, ends a three-year spell at the U's, with his final one being by far the most notorious.

Through no fault of his own, his registration for the 2008/9 season had not gone through rendering him ineligible to play. Unaware of this, Oxford fielded him and were subsequently deducted five points by the Football Conference which ultimately cost them a place in the Blue Square Premier play-offs.
