Crystal Palace have completed the signing of midfielder OWEN GARVAN for an undisclosed fee.

GARVAN, 22, has signed from Ipswich Town where he started his career, coming through their academy and making his first team debut at the age of just 16.

He has also played for the Republic of Ireland Under 21s, alongside Sean Scannell.

"I am delighted to have signed for Crystal Palace", he told the Official Palace website.

"Hopefully this season I can play a bit more football, that is what I am wanting to do and hopefully everything goes well for myself and the club.

"At Ipswich things did not really work out and I think the manager realised that. As a footballer I just want to play games and play in the Championship and I am just thankful to the manager for giving me this chance and hopefully I can repay him with good performances and good results.

"He just tried to sell the club to me and the main thing is he said that I would get more game time here than you would at Ipswich. I could not wait around at Ipswich any longer as last season I was on the bench and getting frustrated and hopefully a new challenge will be good for me.

"There are a few ex-Ipswich players here and I know Sean although it is unfortunate for him to have picked up the knee injury and may be out for a little while. When you come to a new club there are different staff and new lads to meet and this is part and parcel of a move."
