“I would love him to stay with us next season and he knows that I would do everything possible to have him as part of my squad.

“He is an important influence both on and off the pitch; he is still controlling games for us in the middle of the park and when you watch him play, you don’t think that this is someone who will become 41 next season because he plays like he is much younger.

“I hope we can have a positive conclusion on this very soon and he is important to me both as a player and as a person.”

Reds will play neighbours Horsham in pre-season who are newly promoted to the Bostik League Premier Division, on Saturday July 20 for a pre-season friendly, kick-off 3pm.

Crawley will also host Swansea City on July 13 and Portsmouth on July 27 at the People’s Pension Stadium.
