Crystal Palace defender James Tomkins has reportedly signed a one-year contract extension at the club.
The 33-year-old centre-back has been with the Eagles since 2016 and has wracked up 128 appearances in that time but was at risk of leaving on a free with his deal set to expire at the end of the 2021/22 campaign. Now, according to the Sun, Tomkins has put pen to paper on a new deal that will keep him in south London until the end of next season.
Tomkins was used sparingly by Patrick Vieira last season, featuring in only nine games across all competitions, but did provide useful cover for Joachim Andersen when the Danish international was out injured for a period in November, playing 90 minutes against Aston Villa, Leeds, Manchester United and Everton, even finding the back of the net in the 3-1 win against the Toffees.
