Crawley Town have signed 21-year-old full back Josh Doherty on a one-year-deal with the option of an extra year.

The Northern Ireland youth international has appeared at U17, U19 and U21 levels for his country.

A product of Watford academy who played under Reds Head Coach Harry Kewell during his time in Hertfordshire, signed his first scholarship forms with the Hornets in 2012, before making his senior debut for the club in 2014 against Huddersfield Town, signing his first professional contract 11 days later.

In the summer of 2016 the defender joined Leyton Orient, before moving on to Altrincham on a month’s loan.
