Crawley sign Grimsby duo Mullarkey and Holohan

Last season Mullarkey made 48 appearances across all competitions

Crawley Town have signed defender Toby Mullarkey and midfielder Gavan Holohan from Grimsby Town.

Mullarkey joins the Red Devils for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal, while Holohan put pen to paper on a two-year contract following the expiration of his deal at Blundell Park.

The 28-year-old defender has previously played at Rochdale and Altrincham, where he made more than 100 appearances.

"It is another step up for me in my career," Mullarkey told the club website.

"I am delighted to get the deal done and am ready to get stuck in. My conversations with the manager have been really good so far, I think the relationship is going to work really well.”

Last season, the centre-back made 48 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and registering four assists.

Holohan, 32, featured 44 times across all competitions for Grimsby last season as they finished 21st in League Two.

"I am really pleased that this deal is done," Holohan said upon signing.

"It has been in the pipeline for weeks now, and when I heard about the interest, I knew that I wanted to get the deal over the line."
