Promoted Crawley have signed striker Will Swan from fellow League One side Mansfield Town for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old former Nottingham Forest junior has been with home-town club Mansfield for the past two seasons.

After making his Forest first-team debut under Chris Hughton in 2020, he had loans at Truro and Port Vale before joining the Stags, initially on loan, for the 2022-23 season.

He then signed on a more permanent deal at the start of the 2023-24 campaign scoring 10 goals in 42 games.

That was enough to secure Mansfield the third automatic promotion place before Crawley followed them up to League One with victory over Crewe in the League Two play-off final at Wembley.

Crawley have won two of their opening three League One games of the season - to sit two points head of the Stags.

The two sides are due to meet for the first time this season at Crawley on Tuesday, 1 October.
