Head Coach John Yems said, “Mark has been training with us the last couple of months and really impressed everybody in training. It’s taken us eleven years to sign him back and he’s finally returned to Crawley, hopefully he can carry on from where he left off and I am pleased to have him back with his experience on and off the pitch, Mark is a great role model for players in the future.”
Yems then added, “I will always remember Mark’s goal against Tamworth that kept us up that season. I’m so delighted to have him back again.”
On Mark’s signing he expressed that he was ‘buzzing to be back where he left off.’
