Crystal Palace have made their first summer signing of in the shape of the Scotland Under-21 international goalkeeper, Chris Kettings.
The 21-year-old has arrived on a free transfer following his release from Blackpool and will challenge Julian Speroni and Wayne Hennessey for the No.1 spot in Tony Pulis' side.
Having guided the club to 11th in the Barclays Premier League last season, Pulis released 12 players and has started his rebuilding with Kettings, capped three times by Scotland's Under-21 side.
Kettings did not play a first-team league game at Blackpool and spent time out on loan at Birmingham City, Morecambe and York City.
He said: "Everyone who I've spoken to about Crystal Palace has only had good things to say so I think it's a massive opportunity for myself."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
