Sutton Utd's former defender Omari Mrisho joins Crawley Town
Sutton Utd's ex-defender Omari Mrisho has signed for League Two side Crawley Town after a successful trial. The 20-year-old has agreed a two-year contract with an option for a third season at Broadfield Stadium. Mrisho began his career at Brighton & Hove Albion before spells at Huddersfield Town and Sutton United. The club confirmed he impressed during Crawley's 1-0 pre-season victory over Eastleigh on Saturday.
What happened?
Omari Mrisho, who played for Sutton Utd last season, has now moved to Crawley Town. The full-back's trial with Crawley included a standout performance in their pre-season win over Eastleigh. His new deal includes a two-year term with the option to extend for another year.
Why it matters for Sutton Utd
Sutton Utd, who finished 19th in the National League last season with 47 points (11W-14D-21L), will need to find a replacement for Mrisho. The club conceded 79 goals last season, finishing with a -20 goal difference. With the new season approaching, Sutton Utd will look to strengthen their defensive options.
What comes next?
Sutton Utd's next fixture is at home against Tamworth on February 16, 2027. Tamworth are currently 11th in the National League. Meanwhile, Mrisho will aim to establish himself in Crawley Town's starting lineup as they prepare for the new League Two campaign.
