Midfielder Dean Cox has joined Sky Bet League Two side Crawley on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The 29-year-old left Leyton Orient earlier in the month after making 275 appearances for the club.

Cox is unavailable until January 2 because he was signed outside the transfer window but he is training with the squad.

Head coach Dermot Drummy told the official website: "I am delighted we have managed to get this over the line and to welcome Dean to Crawley.

"He will give us so many good options. He gets goals, he also gets a lot of assists and he's a hard working player who gives everything every time he goes onto the pitch.

"We've had some good discussions during the negotiations with Dean. He knows a lot of people at the club on and off the pitch which I think will help him settle in and although it's frustrating that we can't play him for a while we have the option of loaning him out to a Conference South club.

"We can also arrange practice matches for Dean and, of course, he'll be training with us as part of the squad."
