Crystal Palace have made two signings to improve the club's development squad.
Centre-back Jake O'Brien has signed from Cork City on a loan until the end of the season, which includes an option to buy.
Another arrival is 17-year-old defender Danny Imray, who is signing from Chelmsford City for an undisclosed fee.
O'Brien said after signing: "I'm delighted. It's a big move for me given where I'm from, the club I'm from. I can't wait to get started.
"I've been speaking to [Shaun Derry] a lot over the last two days at the training ground. The facilities are all new - it's a big step up, so it will be great to use them.
"It's very professional and I can't wait for it all to get started."
Imray said after signing his contract: "I'm delighted to sign.
"Coming from non-league it's big. The facilities are brilliant – it just shows the club is moving forward and going places. I don't think there's a better Academy to be at.
"I have spoken to Shaun quite a bit about the transition and I am very happy to be playing under him in the U23s. I like the way Shaun and Stephen [Rice] play – I feel like it will suit me and I will thrive off it.
"I cannot wait to get started and showcase my ability."
