Crawley Town Football Club is delighted to announce the formation of an official B team. The squad will play their first fixture this evening as they take on Bracknell Town in a friendly.
Lewis Young will remain in his role as a first-team coach but will oversee all of the B team’s training sessions and fixtures with the team schedueld to play a number of friendlies over the course of the season.
Speaking on his involvement with the B team, Lewis Young said: “I am delighted to be overseeing the B team for the upcoming season. Firstly, I would like to thank Kevin and Dan for putting their trust in me as I oversee this project. I am really looking forward to working with a talented bunch of individuals across the season.
“The B team will provide an excellent opportunity for some of the first-team squad to top up their minutes to ensure that when they are called upon, they are fit and ready for action. As well as this, the B team will provide an exciting opportunity for some of the younger players to showcase their talent to the management team in a game situation, not just on the training pitch. This project provides a clear pathway to first-team football for younger players, which is something the club has not seen in a long time.”

Aramide Oteh
Florian Kastrati
Zaid Al-Hussaini
Szymon Kowalczyk
Mustafa Hussein
