Crystal Palace defender Nolan signs new deal | OneFootball

Crystal Palace defender Hayley Nolan has signed a contract extension with the club.

The Eagles announced the news via a post on their official club website this afternoon.

It has been reported that the 27-year-old Republic of Ireland international has signed on again with Crystal Palace until summer 2026.

Nolan is in her second season with Crystal Palace after joining the club from neighbours London City Lionesses in summer 2023. The defender was an ever-present for The Eagles last season as they won the Barclays Women’s Championship title and promotion to the top tier. Nolan started this season nursing an injury but she returned to action last month and made three appearances for Crystal Palace before the Christmas break.

With Nolan up and running for the season, she will be hoping to play an important role for Crystal Palace between now and May.

After signing on again at Selhurst Park, Nolan said “I’m really happy to sign a new deal with the club. Everyone knows how much I love it here.

“I know I only came through the doors last summer, but it feels like I have been here for years, and I think that is credit to the people in the building – they have made me feel at home since day one.”

Crystal Palace return to action after the Christmas break when they play host to Sheffield United in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup fourth round on Sunday 12 January 2025.
