Crawley Town has announced the signing of Kilkenny midfielder Gavan Holohan from Grimsby Town, marking a significant addition to their squad. The 32-year-old brings a wealth of experience and proven success, having earned promotions to the Football League with both Hartlepool United and Grimsby Town.
Holohan featured prominently for Grimsby last season, making 44 appearances across all competitions. Notably, Holohan was named in the FA Cup Team of the Season after scoring two crucial goals against Premier League side Southampton, in the 2022/23 season.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the move, Holohan said, “I am really pleased that this deal is done. It has been in the pipeline for weeks now, and when I heard about the interest, I knew that I wanted to get the deal over the line. I had heard about the interest via my agent, and I immediately spoke to people who were connected with the club. Danilo, who was here last season, is a good pal of mine, and he couldn’t speak highly enough of the club.”
Holohan’s career is marked by notable achievements, including key roles in securing promotions for both Hartlepool and Grimsby. His ability to perform under pressure and deliver in crucial matches has earned him a reputation as a reliable and impactful player.
Crawley Town fans can look forward to seeing Holohan’s experience and skill on display, as he aims to help the team achieve new heights in the upcoming season. His addition to the squad not only strengthens the midfield but also brings a winning mentality and a wealth of Football League experience.
As Holohan embarks on this new chapter with Crawley Town, the club and its supporters will be hoping that his proven track record of success continues, contributing to a successful campaign in League One.
