Palace have had over 10 players out on loan up and down the country and abroad this season, gaining valuable experience and some creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Starting with Owen Goodman, the young goalkeeper has enjoyed a sensational campaign on the yellow and blue side of south London, wearing the No. 1 shirt and playing all 54 competitive fixtures he was eligible for and ultimately helping the Dons to promotion.

In those 54 games across all competitions, Goodman kept an incredible 25 clean sheets - including three consecutive shutouts in the play-off semi-finals against Notts County and in the final against Walsall.

He was also awarded the League Two Golden Glove for keeping the most clean sheets (24 in the league), and he was also named in the League Two Team of the Season.

An incredible campaign, which was also documented in Loan Life - Palace TV’s latest series!

Tayo Adaramola also experienced promotion with Bradford City in an outstanding second-half of the season. He went on loan to the Bantams in February and hit the ground running - winning a Man of the Match award on his debut.

He made 19 out of a possible 24 appearances during his time in West Yorkshire, registering four assists and eight clean sheets as a left wing-back.

In their final game of the season, Bradford secured promotion with a last-gasp winner in the 96th minute. The scenes at full-time will live long in the memory of Adaramola and Bradford fans alike, with the club returning to League One for the first time in seven years.

Wing-back Danny Imray also enjoyed a stellar loan move to Bromley in what was their first-ever season in the Football League. Bromley secured promotion via the play-offs at Wembley last season and managed to record an 11th place finish in League Two thanks in-part to Imray.

He made 42 appearances for the Ravens, missing out on a few games due to injury, and managed to score twice and set up five assists. Towards the latter end of the campaign, he was playing in a more advanced role as a winger.

Imray also scooped Bromley’s Young Player of the Season award, the icing on the cake of his first-ever loan in the EFL.

David Ozoh enjoyed a strong start to life on loan at Derby County in the Championship, scoring in pre-season and starting their first five games of the 24/25 campaign.

The 19-year-old scored his first-ever goal in professional football against Bristol City back in August, however he then suffered an injury which kept him out until January. He returned to action to help the Rams in their bid for survival, though he suffered another injury which ruled him out for the rest of the campaign.

His efforts were not in vain, however, as Derby managed to secure safety with two games to spare. He made 12 appearances in total for the Rams across all competitions, with that solitary goal to his name.

Across the border in Scotland, Killian Phillips has enjoyed an incredible season on loan at St. Mirren. The midfielder featured in 36 out of a possible 37 games, helping the side to a top-half finish.

The midfielder started every one of those 36 games, with four goals and an assist to his name. Phillips’ performances also saw him scoop three different Player of the Year awards for the Buddies.

Also north of the border was first-teamer Jeffrey Schlupp, who will be leaving the club at the end of the season. He was on loan at Celtic for the second part of the campaign and played his part to help them win a record-equalling 55th Scottish top-division title.

Schlupp made 15 appearances for Celtic as a left-back, keeping two clean sheets while scoring and assisting once.

Fellow midfielder Jack Wells-Morrison had two different loan spells this season for Wealdstone and Solihull Moors in the National League.

He made 33 appearances in total for both sides across all competitions, gaining crucial first-team experience, playing both as a midfielder and as a left-back towards the end of his spell on loan at Solihull Moors.

Centre-back Chris Francis was also on loan in the National League for Dagenham & Redbridge from January onwards, where he also earned vital forest-team minutes.

He played in 12 games for the Daggers, keeping three clean sheets, though he and his side were narrowly relegated on the final day of the campaign, missing out on safety by a single point.

Jemiah Umolu earned a loan move to Port Vale in January, where he made nine appearances off the bench. This was the young striker’s first experience of first-team football, and he also registered an assist in a 5-0 win over Bromley, helping Vale to promotion.

Winger Asher Agbinone, who made his first-team debut for Palace back in October, earned a loan move to Gillingham for the latter half of the season.

On his debut, he earned the Player of the Match award, and continued to impress in his following games. An unfortunate injury ruled him out for most of his loan move, though he still managed to make six appearances in total.

Jadan Raymond also earned his first-ever loan move to Queen’s Park in the Scottish Premiership. He made five appearances in total, starting twice for the Spiders as they managed to avoid the relegation play-offs.

Luke Plange also had two loan spells at Motherwell and HJK Helsinki. He only managed four appearances in total for Motherwell, though he did impress in Finland - scoring six times and providing two assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.

Finally, with his season ongoing at Bohemian, Seán Grehan is having a massive impact for his former side. He has started all 16 games he has been eligible so far, since moving in March when their season started.

Grehan has kept four clean sheets in those 16 games, while also netting three crucial goals - two of which were last-minute winners.
