Steve Parish, chairman of Crystal Palace, has praised Jeffrey Schlupp, alongside teammates Will Hughes and Joel Ward, for extending their contracts with the club.

Parish underscored their significance both on and off the field, noting their role in upholding the club’s standards and ethos.

He expressed his satisfaction with their decision to remain at the club, highlighting their contributions to the team’s positive progression under manager Oliver Glasner.

Parish commented, “In addition to their pivotal roles on the pitch, Will, Jeff, and Joel are natural leaders in the dressing room, embodying the Crystal Palace ethos and fostering a culture of excellence at the training ground. We are thrilled that they have chosen to stay with us for another season, as we continue to build on our promising start under Oliver Glasner.”

Schlupp, who signed a one-year contract extension in March 2023, has now committed his future to the club until the end of the upcoming season.

Since his arrival from Leicester City in January 2017 for £12 million, the 31-year-old has scored 22 goals in 267 appearances for Palace. He has showcased his versatility by playing various roles, including left-back, left-wing, and centre-midfield, throughout last year.
