Joel Ward has signed a two-year contract extension with Crystal Palace to 2023.

The right-back has spent the last nine seasons at Selhurst Park and this latest contract will take his association with the Eagles beyond a decade.

Ward, 31, was set to be a free agent this summer but he will now look to add to his 273 appearances in all competitions under new manager Patrick Vieira.

Speaking to Palace TV, the long-serving defender said: "I'm delighted. I think it's great to have committed the future to the club.

"We know it's an exciting time for the club in the way things are shaping up, so I think with a new manager coming in and staff as well, it's going to be an exciting period."
