Former Blue Damien Delaney has joined Crystal Palace on a short-term contract. TWTD revealed that Palace were keen on signing Delaney late last month.
Delaney said: "I'm really impressed, I've come here this morning seen the training ground and trained for the first time.
"I knew two or three of the lads so they made me feel welcome straight away. The manager's enthusiasm you can see in his training sessions. That's what I want to get on board with. It just felt right."
The Irishman's Town deal was torn up by mutual consent yesterday to facilitate a move elsewhere with the 31-year-old keen to play regular first team football.
Speaking prior to the announcement of Delaney joining Palace, Blues boss Paul Jewell said: "People might scratch their heads and say we look a little bit short [at centre-half], and we are for one game, but we’ll address that situation.
"Damien was out of the team, we had a chat and he wants to try different things next season, whether that’s going abroad. He wants to try a few things.
"I think there are one or two Championship clubs interested, I’m not sure. He was unhappy at not being in the team.
"I could see he was unsettled and we came to an amicable agreement. I wish him well, he’s a good lad, he’s always done his best for the team.
"He’s out of the team at the moment, he wanted to go somewhere else and we’ve come to an agreement, it’s as simple as that.”
In terms of a replacement for Delaney, the Blues manager added: "It can be a loan, but a loan with a view to buy is what we’re looking for. That’s the ideal scenario.”
