Yorwerth moved to the Reds on loan from Ipswich in September 2015 before making that switch permanent the following summer.

The 22-year-old has made 92 appearances for Crawley and has been a key player in Harry Kewell’s League Two play-off-chasing side this season.

Yorwerth penned a new contract to keep him at the Broadfield Stadium until 2020 last September.

However, Crawley reportedly want to offer the Bridgend-born talent a fresh deal this summer to fend off any potential suitors.
