Published on: 18 July 2024

Ghana goalkeeper, Joseph Wollacott has expressed excitement his transfer to English League One side Crawley Town has been completed from Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.

The 27-year-old signed a two-year contract with Crawley Town and is excited about the new chapter.

Injuries restricted Wallacott to just nine appearances for Hibernian last season in the Scottish Premiership, starting five one them and kept just one clean sheet.

"I am delighted to get the deal over the line. It was a quick turnaround, so I am very happy it was done quickly. Unfortunately, last season did not work out for me, so I was looking for a solution,” he told the club’s website.

With extensive experience from his early days at Bristol City, where he spent eight years and had multiple loan spells, Wollacott brings a wealth of knowledge to Crawley Town.

After a loan spell at Swindon Town, Wollacott signed a one-year deal with the Robins, reuniting with current Crawley Town manager Scott Lindsey.

Wollacott speaks highly of Lindsey, reflecting positively on their time together at Swindon.
