Academy graduate Clyne leaves Palace

[Getty Images] Nathaniel Clyne has left Crystal Palace after the club confirmed his contract has expired. Speaking to club media, Palace TV, Clyne said: "When I started at Crystal Palace we were in the Championship. Now the club is playing European football, having nights like we did in Leipzig. "I'm just so happy that I've been a part of that, it's meant so much to me and my family." Clyne rose through the Palace academy to earn his first senior debut in October 2008 against Barnsley in the Championship. Since making his debut, the 25-year-old has represented the Eagles over 250 times in all competitions over the course of two stints at the south London club. Although Clyne did not feature in the FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League final victories, he was named on the bench for all three games under Oliver Glasner. Clyne experienced an eight-year hiatus from Selhurst Park as he joined Southampton in 2012 and the full-back would then go on to represent Liverpool and Bournemouth before being brought back to Palace in October 2020. "The last few seasons have given me some of the best days of my life," he added. "I'm proud of these achievements, proud of myself and the football club." Throughout Clyne's career he represented England 14 times.
