Seven Crystal Palace Under-23s have signed new contracts with the club: Jake O'Brien, Jay Rich-Baghuelou, David Boateng, Luke Dreher, Sean Robertson, Sion Spence and James Taylor, reports cpfc.co.uk.
O'Brien has secured a permanent deal after his successful half-season loan from Cork City in 2020/21. O'Brien enjoyed a strong few months with the Under-23s last season, and captained the Eagles in their victorious play-off final at Selhurst Park.
Rich-Baghuelou joined in January 2020 and played a key part in the Under-23s' 2020/21 promotion season, playing 20 times and scoring twice - including in the dramatic penalty shoot-out victory in the final. He represented Australia in the Tokyo Olympics this summer.
David Boateng has been with the club since the Under-9 age group, and played 20 times in 20/21 as Palace's Under-23s earned Premier League 2 promotion via the play-offs. He scored one goal last season, a crucial effort in the 3-2 win over Middlesbrough that helped to secure a third-place finish.
Spence (currently on loan at Bristol Rovers) and Taylor both joined in September 2020 and enjoyed strong individual seasons, while Dreher and Robertson are long-serving members of the Under-23s.
