World Cup goalkeeper Goodman joins Dundee from Palace on loan

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Owen Goodman has joined Dundee on a season-long loan on his return from the World Cup with Canada. The London-born 22-year-old was called up to the senior squad for the first time in November and, after ending the domestic campaign on loan to Barnsley in League One, was one of the hosts' three goalkeepers at the summer tournament. Jon McCracken, last season's first choice, left Dundee for Bradford City this summer and Goodman has been brought in to challenge Kieran O'Hara for the number one jersey. Goodman told his club website: "It's a big league, the Scottish Premiership. There's some big games. When Dundee came in, it was just something I had to go for. "I'm excited for a new challenge and the next step in my career and I'm happy to try something new." Goodman, who is ineligible to face Clyde in Saturday's Premier Sports Cup game, came through the Palace youth ranks and joined Colchester United on loan in 2023. He had another loan spell in League Two with Wimbledon, winning the division's golden glove and helping them win the play-off final and promotion. Goodman started last season on loan to Huddersfield Town, making 12 appearances, before starting 22 games for Barnsley in the second half of the season.
