Crystal Palace man given green light to leave on loan

Crystal Palace defender Reece Hannam has joined Bromley on loan.

The Eagles have let the youngster head out the exit door to get some first-team experience under his belt.

Hannam, 21, has made the switch to the National League on a season-long loan deal.

Crystal Palace prospect

Crystal Palace swooped to sign the full-back in 2020 after he impressed them on trial.

He had previously risen up through the academy at fellow London club West Ham United and had been a regular at both U18 and U23 level there.

The Hammers cut ties with him two years ago and he has since found himself a home at Selhurst Park.

Hannam has been a key player for the Eagles’ development squad under Shaun Derry but despite making the bench for the first-team on a handful of occasions, he is still waiting on his senior debut.

He now has an opportunity to go and get plenty of game time next term with Bromley. The Ravens, who are managed by former Palace goalkeeper Andy Woodman, finished 10th in the last campaign.

Crystal Palace have been in pre-season action at the training ground today against Ipswich Town and won 4-1.

Luke Plange scored a hat-trick whilst Christian Benteke got the other goal.
