Crystal Palace fullback Nathaniel Clyne is delighted with his return to Selhurst Park.

Clyne came through the Palace youth system before going onto play for the likes of Southampton and Liverpool.

He told the Palace website: "This club means the most to me. It's a club where you can come and enjoy your football, mix with the lads and do the best you can for your team.

You can see everyone's close here, from the players to the kitchen staff, and the people that work behind the scenes. It's got that feel-good factor here.

"I feel like it's a family club, definitely with the fans. The fans make it. They show their support every game, home and away.

"The people around the club, the staff, the coaching staff, and everyone really just make it into a tight-knit family club, and that's what makes the club special.

The Palace fans have always been good to me. They recognise I'm someone who came through their Academy, so they've always treated me well. Their support on matchdays is what helps us to play better, home and away.

I'm happy to have played so many games for Crystal Palace and hopefully will have many more to come but it's something I'll look back at later on. My career is nowhere near over yet.

Achieving your dreams is a very good thing but I'm just looking forward to more opportunities."
