Crystal Palace defender Joel Ward has pledged his future to the club by signing a new contract.
The right-back has put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at Selhurst Park until the summer of 2021.
"I'm delighted to be re-signing. I've been here for six years now and this will take me just shy of a testimonial so I'm looking forward to what the future has in store," Ward told Palace's official website.
"There's been some fantastic moments; it's been a great ride, and long may that continue. I wanted to stay here and be a part of it as I feel at home here, and it's important for us to keep moving forward.
"I want to continue to play for this club and set that bar as high as I can. As long as I put the boots on, I'll never stop trying to better myself and raise that bar."
Ward has made 206 appearances for the Eagles since signing for them in 2012.
