Crystal Palace have announced their list of released players and those that will stay with the team for the 2022/23 season.
The Eagles had already confirmed that long-serving centre-back Martin Kelly would leave the club at the end of his contract though he will now be joined by Jaroslaw Jach. The twice-capped Poland international joined Palace in January 2018 on an initial three-and-a-half-year contract but only made one senior appearance for the club, spending the majority of his time in south London out on loan.
Jach's sole appearance for the Eagles came in a second-round League Cup defeat to Bournemouth in September 2020. The 28-year-old played 90 minutes at left-back as Palace were knocked out on penalties, failing to get any more time on the pitch for the first time.

The club have expressed their thanks to Jach and Kelly for their time spent at Crystal Palace and wished them well for their future endeavours. The list of players announced on the club’s website also included those currently negotiating new deals, with midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate the only payer to fall under this category.
Among the list of players that have been retained for the new season include all of those already under contract, with newcomer Luke Plange - signed in January for £1million from Derby County - also included on the list.
