• FA and EFL both named as co-respondents in claim
• League One club understood to deny any wrongdoing

Crawley Town have been accused of breaking the Modern Slavery Act by a former employee.

The League One club’s former kitman Pete Reynolds alleges in a claim for unfair dismissal and age discrimination that will be heard by the London South employment tribunal that Crawley in effect asked him to work almost 100 hours a week without additional pay, which would have left him earning well below the national minimum wage.
