He joined Palace at Under-11 level from Chelsea and progressed through the Academy ranks, helping the Under-15s lift the National Floodlit Cup in 2022/23 against Stoke City before earning his scholarship ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Angibeaud made his Under-18 debut as a substitute against Aston Villa in September 2024, before earning his first start the following month against Leicester City, where he registered an assist for Jerome Osei’s late winner. He went on to make nine appearances in his debut scholarship campaign.
Under Javier Alonso, he became a key figure in the 2025/26 season, establishing himself as a central attacking outlet and at times leading the line, while also demonstrating his versatility across the forward positions.
Standing at six-foot-six, Angibeaud combines physical dominance with relentless pressing, while continuing to develop his hold-up play and finishing ability.
He enjoyed a breakthrough 25/26 campaign, scoring 17 goals and providing four assists in 35 Under-18 appearances. After breaking into the side in October with a substitute appearance against Fulham, he quickly settled into form, scoring six goals in his first seven games to end 2025 strongly.
His momentum continued into the new year, with a prolific spell that saw him reach 10 goals in as many games following the 5-0 win over Birmingham City at the end of January.
One of his defining moments came in the Premier League Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur, where he headed home from a trademark Jasper Judd inswinging corner to send Palace into a first-ever final in the competition.
He added a further six goals across March, April and May, maintaining his impact throughout the run-in.
Angibeaud’s progress across the season reflected a forward growing into his role, finding consistency after a patient start before becoming a decisive presence in front of goal. He unfortunately missed the Premier League Cup Final through injury, having played a key role in guiding the team to that stage.
