Crystal Palace are pleased to announce the signing of goalkeeper Neil Alexander on a free transfer.
The veteran stopper has penned a one-year deal at Selhurst Park to provide experienced competition to current number one Julian Speroni.
Alexander, 35, will be best known to fans of English football for his successful spell with Cardiff City between 2001 and 2007. He also went on to play for Ipswich Town and Rangers. After signing his one-year deal at Palace, Alexander said: “I’m absolutely delighted. To become part of a Premier League club is massive for me. I’m very much looking forward to the season – it’s going to be a very exciting season this year.
“The club done fantastic last year, they’ve got a great set of players here. I’ve worked with George Wood the goalie coach before – he’s a great coach, one of the best I’ve worked with. The chance to come back and work with him was very appealing.
“And obviously being in the Premier League, one of the best leagues in the world was one of the main things for me. I’m really looking forward to the season ahead and I can’t wait to get started.
“Julian’s done fantastically well here. He had a great season last year, but it’s important to have good back-up, experienced back-up and I think that’s what I’ll bring to the squad.” http://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/article/alexander-pens-palace-deal-992600.aspx [ 此帖被羅力亞在2013-08-15 17:05重新編輯 ]
