Peter Ramage

Defender PETER RAMAGE has re-signed for Crystal Palace on a one-year deal.

The 28-year-old impressed while on loan over the first half of last season before returning to host club QPR.

RAMAGE then had a loan stint at Birmingham but Rangers deemed him surplus to requirements at the end of the campaign and decided not to renew his contract.

Eagles boss Dougie Freedman ran the rule over the former Newcastle trainee over the past few weeks and opted to take him back to Selhurst Park.

RAMAGE Tweeted: "Finally put the old autograph to paper on permanent deal at CPFC. Couldn't be more happy to be back at eagles, can't wait for season to start and help build on a good season they had last season."

RAMAGE made 19 starts and four sub appearances without finding the net for the Eagles last term.
