Ozoh joined Palace at the age of eight and progressed through the Academy, earning his first professional contract in August 2022 after establishing himself in Paddy McCarthy’s Under-21s.
Having made his senior debut off the bench against Newcastle United in January 2023, he became the club’s youngest-ever Premier League player at the time and was named U21s Player of the Season.
He went on to make 13 first-team appearances for the Eagles and was part of the U21s side which defeated Jong PSV to lift the Premier League International Cup at Selhurst Park in 2023/24.
Ozoh spent the past two seasons on loan at Derby, making 47 appearances across his two spells and playing a key role in the Rams’ push for the Championship play-offs last season.
After 13 years in South London, everyone at the club would like to thank David for his efforts and wish him the very best as he makes his move to Pride Park permanent.
