Crawley's Director of Football Selim Gaygusuz said: “Ricky is a player we have been watching since the start of the season. He had a difficult time at Chesterfield, has come back to London and dropped into to try and rebuild his career and get back into the professional game.
“He is quick with a natural eye for goal and we're delighted he's decided to join us, because he was wanted by a lot of clubs.
“We got Ashley Nathaniel-George from Hendon and Ricky used to go to school with Ash and he has seen that Ash has had opportunities with us. If he can make the same impact as Ash then he could be a really good signing for us.
“He knows he will have to work hard to impress [manager] Gabriele Cioffi but the opportunity for him is there.”
