Crawley Town have signed former Millwall left-back Scott Malone from Gillingham for an undisclosed fee.

Malone has made more than 500 appearances in a career spanning 15 years, playing 193 games for Millwall across three stints at the club.
He has penned a one-year contract at Broadfield Stadium.
"I have said for a few years now that I have wanted to play for this club," he told Crawley's website., external

Top scorer Danilo Orsi signed for Burton Albion on Thursday after his 25 goals spearheaded the Reds to League One promotion via the play-offs last season.
