Goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson has joined Crystal Palace from Cardiff City.

Margetson, 44, was on Wales' backroom staff during their successful 2016 European Championship campaign, where he worked alongside Palace stopper Wayne Hennessey.

Sam Allardyce had him on his coaching team at West Ham and then at England during Allardyce's brief stint as Three Lions boss.

Eagles boss Allardyce said: "Having worked with Martyn before I know the value and experience he will bring to our coaching staff so I am delighted to see him join the club."

Margetson replaces former keeper coach Andy Woodman, who was let go by Allardyce this week.
