Crystal Palace midfielder Shauna Guyatt has signed her first professional contract with the club.
The Eagles announced the news via a post on their official club website this morning.
Guyatt joined Crystal Palace last summer and the player went on to make 14 appearances for the South Londoners in last season’s Barclays Women’s Championship. The youngster has an exciting future in the game and she will continue her development at Crystal Palace this season.
After signing her first professional contract with The Eagles, Guyatt said “It’s great to play for the club you support – it’s literally a dream come true. My dad’s a big Palace fan, so I didn’t really have a choice growing up – but I’m happy about it!
“[Last season] was the first time I’d been with a first team properly, and playing for the club you support, it’s just the best achievement to put the shirt on and go and play.
“I found the gap quite big, but as I carried on, people were so supportive. I grew into it and I think, this year, I can definitely do more again. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
“We’ve already got a great feeling so far in the club. The facilities are lovely and it’s such a nice environment around here. I can’t wait for next season – it’s just such a good feeling, I’m really looking forward to it.”
Guyatt becomes the 14th player to sign with Crystal Palace for the upcoming season.
