Crawley Town have signed former Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone as part of a double swoop, with the club also adding midfielder Stephen Duke-McKenna. Mannone, who is 38 years old, has had spells with Arsenal, Sunderland, and AS Monaco, and will join Colin Kazim-Richards as a player-coach. Crawley Town's transfer dealings have been the busiest in League Two, with the club looking to boost their promotion chances. The signing of Duke-McKenna, who has joined from Harrogate Town, will add more creativity to their attack, which only netted 44 goals in the entirety of last season. Steve Evans and Bristol Rovers have also been active in the market, with the club welcoming Kofi Balmer back after a loan spell with The Gas. Ben Purrington has also joined Bristol Rovers from Cambridge United, and will provide a versatile option for the club. York City have continued to add strength to their side, with the signing of Frankie Maguire from Boston United. Gareth Ainsworth has also made a signing, with striker Will Goodwin joining from Oxford United. Exeter City have made their first signing since relegation from League One, with Gwion Edwards joining from Morecambe. Northampton Town have also made a signing, with Zach Jeacock joining on loan from Birmingham City. Shrewsbury Town have signed Arkell Jude-Boyd from Cheltenham Town, and Crewe Alexandra have signed Doncaster Rovers forward Jordan Gibson. Crawley Town's signings will be looking to make an impact, with the club aiming to improve on last season's performance. The club's fans will be hoping that the new signings will bring some much-needed creativity to the attack. With the transfer market still open, it will be interesting to see if Crawley Town make any more signings. The club's manager will be looking to get the best out of his new players, and will be hoping to lead the team to a successful season. Crawley Town's promotion chances have been boosted by the signings, and the club will be looking to make a push for the top of the league.
