Former Chelsea youth coach Dermot Drummy has been named new manager of Crawley Town.

The former Chelsea and Arsenal coach has been given a two year deal to help push the Red Devils up the League Two table. He succeeds Mark Yates.

“I'm delighted to be at Crawley and I am really looking forward to taking the club forward," he told the club's website.

“Hopefully I can produce a team that plays attractive football that excites our fans and brings the whole club together – players, supporters and the people who work for the club.

“I can't wait to get started. I'm looking forward to meeting the players and preparing for Saturday's game."
