Joel was most recently involved in the 3-1 victory against Colchester United, where he scored Crawley’s second goal of the afternoon.

Manager John Yems said: “Joel spent a lot of time with us and earned his contract, he’s worked hard and has had a top career. He’s been a great influence around the place and will be a brilliant addition for a further 18 months, he’s a lad that brings a lot of professionalism to the club.”
Chief Executive Erdem Konyar said: “I’m delighted that Lynchy has signed to stay on for another 18 months at the club. He is an important influence on and off the pitch.”
