David Boateng
Boateng capped a fine 2020/21 campaign with the Under-23s by scoring at Selhurst Park in Palace’s crucial victory over Middlesbrough, as they qualified for the play-offs in their first season as a Category 1 Academy.

Playing mainly in the full-back role but with the ability to fill in in midfield, he became a regular for the Under-18s before moving up to the Development side, with no player appearing more during U18s Professional Development League victory in 2017/18.
His importance to Shaun Derry’s Under-23s was demonstrated by starting the last ten games of the 2020/21 season, as Palace’s fight for promotion went down to the wire.
