FA Ireland Men's U19 International Player of the Year
2022/23
After intially impressing on trial towards the end of the 2021/22 campaign, Seán Grehan made his move to south London permanent in the summer of 2022.
The Dublin-born centre-back put pen to paper on a two-year deal and has since slotted in well to Paddy McCarthy's Under-21s side at the start of the 22/23 season, starting nearly every game.
Grehan was called up to represent the Republic of Ireland Under-19s side in September 2022 and managed to keep three clean sheets and score a goal in the three games he featured in. In February 2023, the defender scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 victory over Sporting Braga in the Premier League International Cup.
He made 36 appearances in all competitions in his first season in south London, with his only goal coming against Braga.
The centre-back was named on the first-team bench for the first time in his Palace career in the side's 2-4 win away at Plymouth Argyle in the second round of the Carabao Cup in August 2023.
Grehan has captained the U21s on occasion in 2023/24, owing to the absence of regular skipper Jack Wells-Morrison. He scored his first goal of 23/24 in September, heading home against Middlesbrough in the Premier League Cup.
