He made his debut for Crawley a week after joining the club, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute in a 1–0 victory against Forest Green Rovers on 18 March 2006. He subsequently started his first match on 15 April 2006, playing the whole match in a 2–0 victory against Aldershot Town, scoring Crawley's second goal. He played eight times for Crawley during his two-month work experience, scoring three goals. On his return to his parent club in May 2006, Bostwick signed a one-year contract with Millwall.
