Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have snapped up Jamaican International Ricardo Fuller, in a deal set to be worth £1 million according to the club's official website (http://www.cpfc.co.uk) .

The official Crystal Palace site confirms that Fuller, who was previously with local rivals Charlton Athletic, has been granted a work permit following Palace agreeing terms for a transfer of £1 million with his Jamaican league side Tivoli Gardens.

The Jamaican forward has been with the club for over a week and played in last Wednesday's reserve game against Swindon at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.

Fuller, who measures up at 1.85m should travel with the first team to Barnsley tonight and could possible be on the bench for the vital clash against the Tykes.

Another trialist, American defender Gregg Berhalter, was on the bench for Saturday's draw with Norwich and is also part of the squad for the clash with Nigel Spackman's Tykes.
