Jason Puncheon

Former Crystal Palace midfielder JASON PUNCHEON has joined Pafos FC.

The 33-year-old has joined the Cypriot side after being released by the Eagles at the end of the campaign.

PUNCHEON spent the second half of last season on loan at Huddersfield and was let go by Palace when his contract expired.

PUNCHEON said: "I am honoured to be joining Pafos FC. I believe the club has big potential and I am happy to become a part of the team and will work hard to bring Pafos to new successes."

A Pafos club statement added: "JASON David Ian PUNCHEON – brilliant also on both wings of the attack. This is one of the most important transfers in Cypriot football."

The Croydon-born midfielder initially joined Palace on loan from Southampton in 2013, before making the transfer permanent in January 2014. He went in to play 169 games and score 16 goals for the Eagles.
