Former Crystal Palace captain Shaun Derry has joined the club's academy staff.

Derry has joined the club as Professional Development Coach within the club's Academy.

Having returned to the club, Derry said: "It means the world to me.

"This is a club that gave me a brilliant opportunity as a player, as a 24-year-old and I spent two or three years here, experienced some brilliant highs and some lows along the way.

"Then coming back as a 30-year-old as a different type of player and again witnessing some incredible moments. I can tell a story to the younger players and hopefully that will be valuable for them."
