Jonny Williams is confident he'll get a chance at Crystal Palace under manager Neil Warnock.
Williams could struggle to nail down a regular starting berth but Warnock told the Advertiser he wants the 20-year-old to prove himself.
"I was 15 when the gaffer was last here, just getting a chance in and around the reserves," Williams told the Croydon Advertiser.
"I remember speaking to him a few times as a kid, and that was big for me back then. He's a hero to you at the age of 14-15 and it's weird to have him back and be in the squad with him.
"We've had a few managers through the door in the last few years but the manager knows the place, know the people and that can only bring good things."
