Crawley Town Parts Ways with Goalkeeper Rob Elliot, Antony Sweeney Steps In
Crawley Town has announced the departure of goalkeeper Rob Elliot, marking the end of his brief tenure with the club. Elliot, who previously played for Newcastle United and Charlton Athletic, joined Crawley in the summer but has now been let go following a series of disappointing results. The decision comes as Crawley struggles in League One, facing relegation pressures.
In a swift move, Crawley Town has appointed Antony Sweeney as the new goalkeeping coach. Sweeney, a former Hartlepool United player, brings experience and is expected to help stabilize the team's defensive line. This change comes at a critical time for Crawley, as they look to turn their season around and secure their position in the league.
The shake-up at Crawley is part of a broader trend in League One, where teams like Northampton Town have also parted ways with their managers amid relegation battles. As the season progresses, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if these strategic shifts can make a significant impact on the pitch.
