Jesse Derry named Crystal Palace U18 Player of the Year

Crystal Palace winger Jesse Derry has been named the club's U18 Player of the Year.

The England U17 international is the son of Wolves coach and former Palace midfielder Shaun Derry.

"It's an honour to win such a big award, and hopefully many more to come," Derry said. "I'd like to thank my Dad!

"He's my biggest critic but also my biggest fan and he pushed me every day. I wouldn't be here without him.

"[My injury] was a small setback but it's nothing serious, so I'll definitely be back next year. It was like a dream come true to make my England debut. It's been alright!"
