Bulman, 38, told the club's website, said: “Crawley is a club close to my heart. I was gutted when I had to leave three years ago but it’s great to be back at the start of what is going to be an exciting era for the club with a new manager coming in.

“There aren’t many lads who were here before but the set-up here is very familiar. I’m fit and raring to go and I’m looking forward to making a big contribution next season.”
