The Super Eagles defender had his first training session with the club on Tuesday and had sat down with the club’s media department for his first interview on Monday.
“I’m thrilled to be here,” Tanimu said.
“Growing up in Nigeria, we all watched the English Premier League, so coming to England is a huge step for me. I’m very happy to join Crawley Town.
“Coming to England is a great opportunity for me to showcase my abilities. I’m also here to help Crawley Town reach the highest level of English football, to get promotion.”
After just one season in Tanzania, Tanimu was linked with Egyptian giants Zamalek and other teams in Africa, but he revealed that the Crawley offer was carefully considered.
