Former Carlisle United frontman Adam Campbell has made a League Two move.

The attacker has left Gateshead to join Crawley Town.

Campbell, 28, has joined on a one-year deal after the Sussex club paid an undisclosed fee for his services.

It sees the two time Carlisle loanee back in the EFL after four years in non-league, initially with Darlington and then, from 2021, Gateshead.

Crawley confirmed the arrival of Campbell ahead of their fourth-tier opener against Bradford City.

The ex-Newcastle United man's first Carlisle spell came back in the 2013/14 League One season when he made a solitary appearance during the final stages of Greg Abbott's reign.

That was while he was still on Newcastle's books - and then, in 2018, he returned on loan from Morecambe and spent the first half of the 2018/19 League Two campaign with the Cumbrians.

He made 17 appearances under John Sheridan without scoring.

Campbell hit 15 goals for Gateshead last season. "It's a great opportunity for him to go and play in the Football League and try to kick on again, because he still has his best years ahead of him," admitted Gateshead player-boss Mike Williamson.

"He's been a fantastic servant. I hope he goes down there and smashes it."
