Crawley manager Steve Evans added: "We're absolutely delighted to have Claude with us for the next 18 months.

"He could have gone back to the Championship and a lot of League One clubs were interested, but he can see we are ambitious to do well.

"He really enjoys the tremendous dressing-room spirit and work ethic we have here.

"He always said he wanted to stay here because he enjoys the club and can see our ambitions."
