Johnny Ertl to Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace in their ongoing fight to Premier League promotion has bolstered their back four with the signing of Johannes “Johnny” Ertl. The twenty-five year old defender, who has seven caps for Austria has spent the last two campaigns with Austria Wien and has been looking for a change since his contract expired this summer. He will be given ample opportunity with Neil Warnock’s squad, which stresses a tight and energetic defensive front.
