Wigan’s Darcy rejoins Crawley Town on loan

Winger Ronan Darcy has returned to Crawley Town after agreeing a loan move from Wigan Athletic.

The 25-year-old left Crawley a year ago to move to the League One side having helped the Reds win promotion to the third tier in 2024.

But the former Bolton Wanderers, Queens Park and Swindon Town player has struggled to force his way into Wigan's side since his move for an undisclosed fee, making 14 appearances and scoring once.

Darcy spent the first half of this season on loan at Crawley's League Two rivals Chesterfield where he scored three goals in 31 appearances in all competitions.

He will now return to the Broadfield Stadium until the end of the season and is the 11th new player to join Crawley either permanently or on loan since the transfer window opened at the start of January.
