Crawley bring in Jensen

Crawley have completed the signing of veteran goalkeeper Brian Jensen on a free transfer.

Jensen has put pen to paper on a one-year contract following 12 months with League Two club Bury. The 38-year-old Dane made 39 appearances for the Shakers this season, having moved to Gigg Lane last September following a 10-year spell at Burnley. Jensen becomes Crawley's second signing of the summer after the arrival of Jimmy Smith. "Brian is still a superb goalkeeper who is in fantastic physical condition," Reds boss John Gregory told the club's official website. "He is a real presence in the penalty area and a character who will be great in the dressing room." Gregory said the Dane will also assume some coaching responsibilities at the club. "He is keen to carry on the coaching work he started last season at Bury but first and foremost he wants to carry on playing," the 60-year-old said. "I have spoken to a lot of managers and people in the game about Brian and without exception they have all spoken very highly of him. We're delighted to have him with us."
