Darryl Flahavan

Crystal Palace keeper DARRYL FLAHAVAN has re-joined Oldham Athletic on loan until the end of the season.

FLAHAVAN was lent to the Boundary Park club in November and played eight matches but returned to the Eagles a month later after fracturing his cheekbone.

The former Southend United stopper is now fully recovered and will be aiming to help the Latics move out of the League One relegation zone. His move to Oldham will help ease the wage bill at cash-strapped Palace.

FLAHAVAN has found it difficult to forge his way into Palace boss Neil Warnock's plans with no.1 Julian Speroni having another outstanding season.

The 31-year-old has made just four appearances in his two seasons at Selhurst Park.
