The 30-year-old, who made 30 appearances for the Magpies last season, has agreed a one-year deal with the Reds which will begin on 1 August.

Leacock, who is Crawley's 12th signing of the summer, began his career at Fulham and made 13 appearances for the west London club, before joining Derby County in the summer of 2006.

He played 127 games for the Rams and subsequently moved on to Leyton Orient in January 2012.
