Four Nigerian players know their fate as Crawley Town confirm retained and released list

Four players of Nigerian descent at Crawley Town have now found out whether they will stay at the League Two club or leave after the retained and released list was announced on Wednesday, May 13.

Former Reading U18 captain Akin Odimayo is among the players retained, with the centre-back having a valid contract with the Red Devils until June 30, 2027.

In the recently concluded season, he made nineteen appearances in all competitions including eight starts.

Crawley Town have exercised their option to extend the contract of winger Ade Adeyemo.

After spells with Fisher, Beckenham Town, Hayes & Yeading United and Cray Valley Paper Mills, Ade Adeyemo joined Crawley Town F.C. in the summer of 2023.

The 27-year-old has since registered seven goals and six assists in 96 appearances for the League Two club.

Tobi Adeyemo has returned to parent Watford following the conclusion of his loan spell.

A winter signing, the Hornets loanee featured in 12 matches in the second half of the recently concluded season and was on target in a 2-0 home win versus Gillingham.

Former Chelsea schoolboy Louis Flower has been released, meaning he will depart Crawley Town upon the expiry of his contract on June 30, 2026.
