Crawley Town have boosted their squad ahead of the new season after making Shaun Cooper their fifth signing of the summer.
The 28-year-old former Bournemouth midfielder impressed in Crawley's pre-season friendly against Woking last week. Cooper started his career at Portsmouth where he came through the youth ranks, making his debut in 2002. He struggled to hold down a place in the Pompey first team, however, and had spells at Leyton Orient and Kidderminster before joining Bournemouth in 2005.
