Joel Ward: Crystal Palace confirm captain to leave after 13 years
Crystal Palace have confirmed that Joel Ward will leave the club after 13 years when his contract expires this summer.
The long-time Eagles club captain has the eighth-most appearances for Palace in their history, having played 363 matches for the club. In April 2024, he became the first to appear in 300 Premier League games for the Eagles.
“For me, it’s been a huge privilege to wear this shirt, to represent this club,” Ward said of leaving.
