He has made the move north, having submitted a transfer request citing family reasons - having recently become a father for a second time - for an undisclosed fee.

"I was delighted when I was offered the chance to come back to Crawley, and it remains a club close to my heart. I’m honoured to have made nearly 200 appearances for the club, but with my young family now growing, a chance to move nearer to family in Scotland was one that I couldn’t turn down.

"I’d like to thank the staff at the club for all their support and wish the club well for the remainder of this season and beyond.

"All the best. Conns."
