Crawley Town has sold their goalkeeper Corey Addai to Stockport County. The 26-year-old played a crucial role in helping Crawley secure promotion by winning the play-off final against Crewe Alexandra at Wembley. He started his career as an Arsenal youth player before moving to Coventry City and going out on loan spells, where he made 45 appearances in all competitions last season and was the top goalkeeper in League Two with 179 saves.
Stockport County will welcome Addai, who joins the club on a three-year deal. At Stockport, Addai will provide competition for Ben Hinchliffe, who was the player of the season for the club. Additionally, the club has signed 20-year-old goalkeeper Max Metcalfe as a “development keeper.” Director of football Simon Wilson expressed his excitement about Addai’s arrival, stating that they have strengthened the goalkeeping department for the long term with his signing.
Addai’s unique profile at 6ft 8in is what sets him apart from other keepers in League Two. His potential to grow and excel at County over the next three years makes him an exciting addition to their roster.
Crawley Town had been looking to sell Addai after he helped them secure promotion last season. The sale came after intense negotiations between both clubs. Crawley had offered him a new contract extension but ultimately decided to sell him to Stockport County.
Stockport County has been looking for a new goalkeeper since Ben Hinchliffe left for Bolton Wanderers in January. With Addai’s arrival, they have added another quality option between their posts.
The sale of Addai is expected to generate around £750,000 in transfer fees for Crawley Town. They are currently looking for a replacement goalkeeper ahead of their preseason training camp later this month.
In conclusion, Corey Addai has left Crawley Town and signed a three-year deal with Stockport County. The move is expected to strengthen Stockport’s goalkeeping department while providing competition for Ben Hinchliffe. With his impressive performance last season, Addai is sure to be an asset to any team he plays for in the future.
