Crystal Palace

Fulham defender Kit Symons has joined Crystal Palace for £400,000 and is Trevor Francis' first signing at the club.

The 30 year old is set to make his debut against one of his old clubs, Manchester City, tomorrow.

Symons was influential in Fulham's two promotion campaigns in recent years, but has only made three appearances this season for the Cottagers.

He has 35 caps for Wales and his experience will be very much needed in the Eagles defence.
