Ex-Bulls Trio Join Crawley

Former Bulls trio Karl Broadhurst, Ben Smith, and Nick Jordan have all joined Crawley Town today.

After the Reds sold three players, two to Peterboro and one to Brighton, they could afford to bring four new players in - and three of them spent at least part of the past season at Edgar Street.

Broadhurst, 29, was expected to sign for Bournemouth but, with their embargo ongoing, has opted for the guaranteed contract with his first taste of Conference football. Smith, 30, had trials at Cheltenham after failing to trigger a clause to extend his Edgar Street contract before linking up with Crawley two weeks ago. Jordan, 20, was the briefest of Bulls - being named as a new signing then disappearing from the squad list in days due to a reported contract disagreement.

Meanwhile Bradley Hudson-Odoi scored for Dagenham in a trial against Enfield Town. The Dagenham website reports it as a six yard finish, but also calls him Hudson-Okai.
