Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace have made their first summer signing with NATHAN FERGUSON joining from West Brom.

The 19-year-old arrives at Selhurst Park on a free transfer after his contract with the Baggies expired.

Palace had agreed to sign the right-back in January but the deal collapsed after FERGUSON had to undergo knee surgery.

FERGUSON, who is a West Brom Academy product, has represented England at Under-18, U19 and U20 level.

He told the NATHAN-FERGUSON-joins-crystal-palace-f.c/" target="_blank">Palace website: "It’s great to be here. Crystal Palace is a great club in my opinion, and I feel like there’s a lot that I can bring to the team. I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started."

Chairman Steve Parish added: "NATHAN is a fantastic signing for us, a player we’ve been committed to for a long time.

"He is hungry, focused, has a great attitude and he’s got an abundance of talent. It’s been a challenging six months for NATHAN, and I’m genuinely so pleased for him that we have finally secured his services."
