Barnet sign Crawley forward Tshimanga

Barnet have signed centre-forward Kabongo Tshimanga on a permanent deal from Crawley Town for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old has scored five goals in 26 games for Crawley since he joined them last summer on a two-year deal.

Tshimanga has also played for clubs including Peterborough, Chesterfield, Boreham Wood and Swindon across the English Football League and National League.

"We've tried to get Kabby on several occasions and nearly got him two or three times but it's something that just never worked out," Bees manager Dean Brennan said.

"We've stayed patient and we think the timing of the move is needed for both parties and we know what he can bring to the team."
