Andy Johnson will get another crack at the Premier League at the age of 33. He has joined Crystal palace on a free transfer.
The former Blues player was a free agent after being released by Queens Park Rangers this summer. The deal will see Johnson take on a coaching role as well as being able to play on match day.
Johnson said to Crystal Palace`s official site:
‘I am delighted to be coming back to a club that I love and have a real soft spot for. I would like to thank the gaffer and the chairman for giving me this opportunity and I am looking forward to helping this football club have continued success in the Premier League,
I have also been given an opportunity to help the youngsters in a coaching capacity, something I am really looking forward to getting involved in.’
The former Birmingham man may not have long left in his career but will be relishing another crack at the Premier League. Johnson made 106 appearances for Birmingham between 1997 – 2002, scoring 13 goals. It was then at Palace where he scored 85 goals in 160 appearances that he made his name.
