Former Crystal Palace winger Paul Ifill has completed his move to A-League club Wellington Phoenix.

The 29-year old British-born Barbados international has signed a two-year deal with the Phoenix which has delighted chief executive Tony Pignata.

"Paul is someone we've been speaking to for a while and we've kept those discussions open while he has been making some decisions around his future," Pignata said.

"Now that Crystal Palace have granted him a release we're thrilled that we've been able to secure his services in Wellington for the coming two seasons.

"We've now found the target man we've been looking for but we'll see what other options we have also."

Ifill has also had stints with Millwall and Sheffield United.
