Second Crawley Town player confirms departure with heartfelt message

Camara, who made 103 appearances for the Reds after signing from non-league side Dulwich Hamlet in 2017, joined striker Ollie Palmer in turning down a new contract offer.

Like Palmer, Camara revealed on social media yesterday that he has decided to move on.

"I would like to say a big thank you to all my teammates and Crawley staff members for your support over the last three years," the 23-year-old wrote.

"You guys helped me to grow as a player and most importantly, as a man.

"Erdem [Konyar, technical director] and Selim [Gaygusuz, director of football] thanks for giving me the opportunity to become a professional football player.

"To the Crawley supporters, thank you very much for believing and for the unconditional support given to me. I will keep you guys in my heart."

In his own farewell message, Konyar said he expects Camara 'to play in the Premier League and become an international'.

He added: "Good luck Panutche. I wish you all the best in life and your career.

"You have an ability and desire which no one can train.

"You have served us well and I know with the grace of God you will deliver. Keep working hard and the sky is the limit.

"You deserve everything good in this world."
