Matthew Gregg

Reserve goalkeeper Matt Gregg has left Palace for Irish side Bray Wanderers on a free transfer.

The 22-year-old goalkeeper joined the Eagles in 1998 from Third Division outfit Torquay for a fee of £400,000 and made his debut for Palace against Fulham at Craven Cottage in a league game in season 1999/00.

Last season Gregg mainly played in the Worthington Cup and he played in the 2-1 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor. This season Matt spent some time on loan at Exeter City.

Gregg, who said he enjoyed his time at Selhurst Park, but is looking forward to playing in Ireland told the official CPFC website: "I have learnt a lot from my time at Palace and I think playing at the club has made me a better player.

"Playing in Ireland will be a new challenge and I am very keen to do well for Bray Wanderers."
