Crystal Palace

Palace boss Alan Smith has again put players on the transfer list. Now they are third choice goalkeeper Fraser Digby, midfielder Jamie Fullarton and youngsters James Hibbert and Stephan Hunt.

Goalkeeper Digby has been out with a shoulder injury all season and is now available on a free.

Fullarton is transfer listed by Smith because he has not been able to become a first team regular since he joined the club because of a string of injury problems.

Youngsters James Hibbert and Stephan Hunt have also been listed while other youngster Michael Fowler joined non-league Stevenage Boro on loan.

Smith has already off-loaded Leon McKenzie to Peterborough and sent Steven Kabba and Roscoe Dsane to Southend, while Andy Linighan has been sacked.

Meanwhile, Chairman Simon Jordan has said that the recent trip to Spain was a success, despite Andy Linighan's controversial exit from the club.

He commented: "The whole point of the trip was to promote unity in the squad and I believe the attitudes of the players is now very much in line with the ethos of the club as a whole."
