Fans have taken to social media after it was announced Nick Tsaroulla will leave Crawley Town at the end of his current contract.

Tsaroulla has been a fan favourite ever since his wonder goal against Leeds United in the famous FA Cup win in 2021.

The 25-year-old was one of seven players who the club were negotiating new contracts with. Jeremy Kelly and Jack Roles were recently announced to have signed on the dotted line, but Reds’ longest serving player has not and has joined Notts County. And fans have been left gutted by the news.
