CRYSTAL PALACE F.C.

Nathan Ferguson signed for Crystal Palace in the club's first signing of the summer 2020 window, signing a contract that sees the highly rated full-back play in red and blue until the end of the 2022/23 season.

Ferguson, 19, joined as a free agent following his contract expiration at West Bromwich Albion, where he developed since the age of eight, rising through the Academy ranks.

Nathan Ferguson joins Crystal Palace F.C.

21 July 2020

Just a teenager, he had his breakthrough campaign in 2019/20, starting West Brom’s first game of 2019/20 in a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest and grabbing an assist.

The following month, he netted his first and only senior domestic goal in a 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers.

Ferguson continued to play regularly for the Baggies until a knee injury curtailed his season after 21 appearances.

Before this, the young full-back rose through West Brom’s youth setup from the age of eight. He has also represented England at Under-18, U19 and U20 level - collecting one, three and four caps at the respective age groups.

Ferguson himself says is happy to play across the backline, but, more specifically, he can operate in both full-back positions, where he appears comfortable and assured.

He is right-footed but versatile on the pitch, with the passing vision to contribute to offensive passages - very much in the mould of the 'modern' full-back.
