Nathaniel Clyne Secures New Extension with Crystal Palace

Clyne’s Commitment to Palace Continues

Crystal Palace have announced that Nathaniel Clyne has signed a new contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2025. The 33-year-old, a product of the Palace academy, has made 219 appearances for the senior team. He featured in 23 matches this season, showcasing his enduring reliability and experience.

Ferguson Released After Injury Struggles

Unfortunately, Nathan Ferguson’s time at Palace has come to an end. The club has released the 23-year-old defender after a series of severe injuries. Since joining West Brom in 2020, Ferguson has managed only eight minutes of playing time over four years. Palace expressed their gratitude for his efforts, stating they wanted to “place on record its thanks” for his contribution during a challenging period.

Exits of Riedewald and Tomkins

In addition to Ferguson, Jairo Riedewald and James Tomkins will also leave the club. Both players have faced their injury issues, contributing to the decision not to renew their contracts.
