Crystal Palace U18 coach Rob Quinn has been delighted with his players' progress this season.

Quinn has seen of his youngsters move into the U21s and even make their first team debuts.

He told Palace's website: “Overall it's been positive when you look at the age of the group. We're very young in comparison to last year's group, but the first years have got a lot of experience and that's a massive positive going into next season.

“Our expectations of them, and us as a group of staff, is for them to now deliver. They've had a taste of the level, so now they'll have to go out and produce. This year has worked out brilliantly for the first years, with a lot more game time, which aids their development.

“That's our job - to get lads developed and into the first-team. We've got second years like David [Ozoh] and Kaden [Rodney] playing up in the Under-21s the whole year and ultimately that's our job. I think this season we've had a lot of success developing the lads."

“It's brilliant to see the boys like Kaden and David playing higher up [and even going on to make their first-team debuts]. Our job is to try and get the boys careers in football, whether that's here or elsewhere and that gives us a lot of pleasure to see them develop and press on."
