Kwesi Appiah has signed a new deal with Crystal Palace.

He has signed a new two-year contract extension with Crystal Palace.

The former Margate striker, who recently impressed for Ghana at the African Cup of Nations, has signed an extension to his contract that will keep him at Selhurst Park until 2017.

Appiah told the club's official website: "It's been a great year for me. I did well on loan at Cambridge United and on the back of that I got a call-up to the Ghanaian national team which I'm thankful for.

"It's put me in good stead coming back to Crystal Palace after the Africa Cup of Nations so the season has gone from strength to strength.

"Myself and Alan Pardew have had a few chats since I've come back and he's been very complimentary about my game, he's taken to me a little bit and asked me to do a few things to prove myself to him and earn this contract and it seems as though I've done that, so I'm delighted."
