Crystal Palace have become the first club to offer an aftercare programme for released players that don't have a future in football.

The three-year aftercare package will support released academy players in making a way of life, outside of football.

This is a fantastic thing for the club to do, hopefully the first of many.

Well done, Crystal Palace!

I’m amazed this is a ‘first’ in this day and age but it is needed for what is a huge let down (being released) for these young people

Full credit to them, should be a standard for all but as I know from my own son's experience the clubs are generally very poor.
