Crawley Town defender James Hurst has said that he is looking to establish himself at the club.

The 21-year-old former West Bromwich Albion player joined the League One outfit on a free transfer during the summer.

Hurst, who was loaned out five times during his time at Albion, has stated that he is hoping to secure a regular first-team spot at Crawley.

He told BBC Sussex: "When it looked like I wasn't going to get a regular place at West Brom I was searching for somewhere I could get regular games.

"Hopefully that is here. I've really enjoyed it and I hope to carry on. Everything I have done has helped me, experience-wise.

"I think I have done a reasonable amount for my age. I just hope to kick on now and get regular games and 40 games a season. You can only really learn from playing."

Hurst has made seven appearances for the Red Devils this season.
