Crawley Town have strengthened their goalkeeping options with the signing of Ghanaian international Jojo Wollacott from Hibernian.

The 27-year-old has penned a two-year deal with the English League One side.

Wollacott, who has previously played for Bristol City, Swindon Town, and Charlton Athletic, brings a wealth of experience to Crawley.

Despite an injury-hit spell at Hibernian, his international pedigree and previous performances suggest he could be a valuable asset for the club.

Manager Scott Lindsey has been busy in the transfer market this summer, and the signing of Wollacott is another indication of Crawley's ambition for the upcoming season.

"Unfortunately, last season did not work out for me, so I was looking for a solution," Wollacott told the club's website, external.

"I know Scott well from my time at Swindon, and I really enjoyed working with him, so this seemed like a great fit."

Wollacott joined Swindon on loan from Bristol City in 2021 before making the move permanent that summer.

He made 41 appearances for the Robins before moving to Charlton Athletic in 2022.

Wollacott joined Hibs last year and made just eight appearances in an injury-hit season for the Scottish Premiership side. He has 11 international caps for Ghana.
