Crystal Palace have announced signing defender Joel Ward to a new three-year deal.
The defender, who has been at the club for six seasons, joined from Portsmouth in 2012 and should be around for a further three as the Londoners have decided to keep him on for the foreseeable future.
"Eagles defender Joel Ward has signed a new contract with the club, extending his stay until the summer of 2021," the Eagles reported in an official statement on their website on Monday.
The player also spoke regarding the development and claims to be delighted after earning himself a fresh deal at Selhurst Park ahead of next season.
