'I'm back home and hopefully I can just enjoy my football again': Defender Nathaniel Clyne rejoins Crystal Palace on short-term deal after being released by Liverpool

Defender Nathaniel Clyne has rejoined Crystal Palace on a short-term deal eight years after he left Selhurst Park.

The right-back, who has been training with the squad after being released by Liverpool, made 137 appearances for the Eagles between 2008 and 2012.

'I'm a London boy, this is where I grew up. I'm back home and all my family and friends are here,' he told the club's official website.

'It's surreal being back, enjoying it and hopefully I can just crack on and enjoy my football again.'

Clyne earned his first England call-up under current Palace manager Roy Hodgson and made 14 international appearances.
