New arrival Hall (bottom) with Crawley boss Steve Evans

Crawley Town have agreed to sign former Oldham, Shrewsbury and Chesterfield defender Danny Hall on a free transfer.

Hall, 26, was released by Spireites manager John Sheridan earlier this month and has agreed a one-year deal.

He told BBC Sussex: "The manager Steve Evans rang me and I liked the sound of what I heard.

"They're enthusiastic, optimistic and looking to go one better than last season. The squad they're building is capable of doing that."

He added: "There's still a wide range of people they're considering and they seem to be pretty screwed-on about what they're doing.

"This offer was what I wanted and I got the right vibes from everyone involved in the club."

Evans told the club website: "Danny has impressed me every time I have seen him play. He is very quick and that is a major asset for any central defender.

"It's great news but there is a lot more work to be done to get us ready for the challenges we will face next season."
