Justin Devenny has penned a new contract at Crystal Palace extending his stay in South London until 2027.

The 21-year-old broke into Oliver Glasner's first team this term, making nine appearances in all competitions.

The midfielder international made his first Premier League start in October's 2-0 home defeat against Fulham before netting his first senior goal in the following game.

Following his breakthrough into the senior side, Devenny earned a call-up to the Northern Ireland senior squad in November, making his first appearance in the UEFA Nations League against Luxembourg.

Upon penning his new deal, the midfielder said: “I'm absolutely delighted! It’s just another step in my career and like every step there's an opportunity and I'm grateful to have it.

"It's a new step, so a new time to work hard, a new learning experience and a new time to show everyone what I can do.”

Speaking in his press conference on Wednesday, Glasner added: "It is a very positive sign. A player from our academy is doing very well. He is getting more and more minutes with us – He deserves it. He works very hard.

"It's a win-win situation; the club get to extend the contract of an academy player, and for Justin, it is a good chance to get minutes in the Premier League."
