Crystal Palace have signed 27-year-old goalkeeper Demi Lambourne on a season-long loan from Leicester City.

Having joined the Foxes in 2018, she has become their longest-serving player and was the Leicester Players’ Player of the Season for her efforts in keeping them in the WSL last term.

Lambourne told cpfc.co.uk: “I’m excited to be here at Palace, and by the direction of the club and where they want to go.

“With Palace’s vision and views, I just wanted to be a part of that. Now, I want to hit the ground running.”

Head coach Laura Kaminski said: “We’re delighted to welcome Demi to Palace. When the opportunity arose to bring a goalkeeper of her quality to the club, we were keen to take it, and we look forward to welcoming her to the squad and helping her to settle in.”
