Banya signs Crawley contract

Crawley have announced the signing of former Fulham youngster Charles Banya on a short-term deal.

The 20-year-old striker joined the Reds on trial two weeks ago, following his release from the Cottagers, and impressed boss John Gregory enough to secure a more permanent contract. "He's got very good pedigree," the former Aston Villa manager told the club's official website. "Charlie's come on for us a few times during pre-season including against Chelsea last time out and he is quick with a great eye for goal. "His release from Fulham benefits clubs like us in League One and i'm very excited about this boy".
