Crystal Palace defender Joel Ward has signed a new two-year deal with the club.

The long-serving right back was out of contract at the end of last season but he has now committed until 2023.

Ward was a prominent member of the side last term as the Eagles secured another year in the Premier League.

Since joining from Portsmouth for £400,000 in 2012, the 31-year-old has played 273 games, scoring five goals.

Ward told Palace TV: “I’m delighted. I think it’s great to have committed the future to the club.

"We know it’s an exciting time for the club in the way things are shaping up, so I think with a new manager coming in and staff as well, it’s going to be an exciting period.”
