Defender Jay Williams has returned to Crawley Town just five months after signing for League Two rivals Milton Keynes Dons.

The centre-back, part of the Red Devils side which won the League Two play-offs in 2023-24, has gone back to Broadfield Stadium for an undisclosed fee.

Williams was a key man in Scott Lindsey's promotion-winning team before following Lindsey to MK Dons in January.

Lindsey was sacked in March and re-appointed manager by Crawley three weeks later, and has now re-signed Williams who also plays as a defensive midfielder.
