Gemma Bryan spoke with Palace TV ahead of Palace Ladies' crucial clash with Lewes Women this Thursday, discussing her return to the Eagles alongside captain Freya Holdaway and manager Dean Davenport.
Having joined Charlton Athletic Women last summer, Bryan returned given her first chance as Palace were awarded promotion to the FA Women's Championship.
"Initially," she explained, "Crystal Palace weren't offered a place in the Championship and I wanted to play at this level. So I looked at the options in the summer and felt at the time that Charlton was the best option for me.
