Jason Puncheon keen to finish career at Crystal Palace

Jason Puncheon says that he wants to finish his career at Crystal Palace and play a role in the "great times ahead" under new manager Alan Pardew.

Jason Puncheon has pledged the remaining years of his career to Crystal Palace as he looks to have a big role in the "great times ahead".

Alan Pardew's arrival at Selhurst Park has given the Eagles a new lease of life, with Palace winning their last four matches since the 53-year-old took over from Neil Warnock earlier this month.

Two of those victories came at home to Tottenham Hotspur and away to Southampton in the FA Cup, and Puncheon, who played under Pardew at St Mary's, is determined to be a part of the club's bright future.

"Yes. I would like to finish my career at the club," the 28-year-old told The Mirror. "I have been here a long time. I've got this year and three more years and I feel that there are great times ahead.

"I played for the manager in League One at Southampton so I know what he is about. He has come in and asked us to do certain things and the players have all accepted the responsibility.

"Everyone respects him. Everyone has responded to him. He makes us all feel as though we are part of something and that we are all fighting together."

Pardew's side sit 13th in the Premier League table, three points clear of the relegation zone, ahead of Saturday's visit of Everton.
