Three more Palace academy graduates have today put pen to paper on their first professional contracts, all of which come into effect from July 1st 2012.

Goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons and Aaron Akuruka have both signed one year deals, while Kadell Daniel has been handed a deal until the end of September 2012.

Speaking to the official website in March when the decisions to award contracts was made, academy manager Gary Issott said: "It is a tremendous reward for the three lads who are getting pro contracts but they are all aware the hard work has only just begun and now must show the right attitude to move onto the next level."
