Crawley seal Drury loan swoop

Crawley have signed midfielder Andy Drury on loan from Ipswich.

The 27-year-old has agreed a three-month deal at the Broadfield Stadium and will go straight into the squad to face Bradford on Saturday.

Boss Steve Evans said: "We tried to sign him from Luton in January but it was not to be."

"He is a big, strong lad with great ability and our supporters will take to him in a big way. He is a match-winner and a great signing."

The deal includes a clause enabling Crawley to make the transfer permanent in January.

Evans is also in talks with a defender ahead of Saturday's clash.
