Crystal Palace defender Joel Ward has committed his future to the club by signing a new contract.

The right back, who was last season's Young Player of the Year, has penned a three-and-a-half year deal.

"I'm really pleased," said Ward, speaking to cpff.co.uk. "It's been something that has been talked about a little bit and I'm glad to now put that to the back and just concentrate with my football and I'm delighted to have signed the deal.

"The relationship with the gaffer and the club helped. I'm excited for what the next few years have in store.

"I love the passion of the club, the fans have been exceptional since I've come here and they've welcomed me with open arms.

"It's been a joy to play in front of them - especially at home - week in, week out. Even the travelling support's been incredible."
