Defender Archie Davies is one of six players released by Crawley Town.

The 23-year-old played 37 times for the League Two club this season and joins Henry Burnett, Tyler Frost, Alfie Jones, Reece Grego-Cox and Ricardo German in leaving the club.

Crawley, who finished 12th in League Two, have 23 players under contract for next season including top scorers Tom Nichols and Kwesi Appiah.

Talks are still going on with eight players over new deals.

Nine-goal forward Ashley Nadesan is among players including Alex Battle, Emmanuel Adebowale, Sam Matthews, Mark Marshall, Taylor Seymour and Jordan Tunnicliffe.

Crawley are still looking for a new manager after John Yems left the club earlier this month amid allegations of racism and discriminatory conduct.

Veteran winger Mark Marshall will leave Crawley Town later this month.

The 35-year-old has made 25 appearances for the Red Devils since joining on a rolling one-month deal last season.

He has however only appeared three times in the EFL Trophy this season, plus a one-minute cameo off the bench in a League Cup second round tie.

Marshall joined Crawley at the start of last season after being released by former club Northampton following their relegation from League One.

The Jamaican has made more than 350 career appearances for 13 teams across 17 seasons and counts Barnet, Coventry, Port Vale, Bradford and Charlton, among his previous clubs.

Matthew Etherington took over at Broadfield last month and guided his new side to a 2-0 win over Swindon on Saturday which took them seven points clear of the League Two relegation zone.
