He has played for the England side in Socceraid fixtures and Crawley boss John Yems believes he will be a good addition for the League Two midtable club.
“Mark has been training with us the last couple of months and really impressed everybody in training," he said.
"It’s taken us thirteen years to sign him back and he’s finally returned to Crawley, hopefully he can carry on from where he left off and I am pleased to have him back with his experience on and off the pitch, Mark is a great role model for players in the future.
“I will always remember Mark’s goal against Tamworth that kept us up that season. I’m so delighted to have him back again.”
Yems has described next month's FA Cup clash as the biggest home game in his club's history and told his players it will be the reward if they work hard and impress in league games.
