Tyrick Mitchell has signed a new contract with Crystal Palace which keeps him with the South Londoners until 2025.
The young left back joined the Eagles as a 16-year-old following the restructuring of Brentford’s academy in 2016. He made his senior debut last July in a 3-0 defeat against Leicester City and has gone on to make a further 17 appearances.
Mitchell’s previous deal was due to expire this summer alongside 12 other members of Palace’s first-team squad. It was reported by the BBC earlier today that Joel Ward and Scott Dann are in talks to extend their terms.
The Brent-born Mitchell became the sixth academy graduate to make their Palace debut under Roy Hodgson. Both he and chairman Steve Parish highlighted the £20 million renovation of the academy site upon announcing the contract.
“I’m delighted. It’s a great place to be and an exciting time so I’m delighted to sign a contract,” Mitchell said. “I can see, especially with the Academy building now and Academy players coming through, it’s a great time.”
Parish added: “This shows once again how our Academy can attract the very best young talent and develop them into first-team players. Tyrick’s progress is an immense source of pride for our club and Academy.”
