Kevan Heyes wrote on opur Crawley Town Facebook page: "To all Crawley fans you have signed a top player who is good enough at least for league 1. He did so well for us at Bolton with excellent delivery from wide areas and from set pieces, he also works his socks off. Good luck to Filipe and Crawley."

Former Brighton and Hove Albion defender defender Vincelot was signed from League One club Bradford City for an undisclosed fee. The Frenchman, who can also played in midfielder, boasts Dagenham & Redbridge, Gillingham, Leyton Orient and Coventry City.

Adam Fairburn added: "Two big signings. I believe the number 7 shirt is still up for grabs... wondering who were saving that for??"

And after Tuesday night's friendly with Ipswich Town, Kewell said: “We have two (players) that hopefully will come through in the next 24-48 hours and I think they would really strengthen our squad. “You want to have players who have the experience but who are also able to play in a few positions as we are always going to have injuries throughout the season."
