Palace Academy bolsters its team

The Crystal Palace Academy are pleased to have recruited three new additions to its team for the upcoming season, including new Head of Coaching Dean Wilkins, the former Brighton & Hove Albion manager.

Academy Director Gary Issott expressed his pride and satisfaction with the appointments, saying on Wilkins:

"Dean brings us massive experience with what he's done in the game. He's been an assistant manager in the Premier League, he's been a manager at Brighton & Hove Albion. The experience he's going to pass on to the coaches is going to be invaluable. That's what his role is going to be: to try and implement the club's playing style and philosophy and allow the coaches to implement that into our play.
