'Valuable asset' - Crawley Town sign goalkeeper after Crystal Palace academy spell
Crawley Town have announced the signing of goalkeeper Jackson Izquierdo, following his progression through the Crystal Palace academy.
The goalkeeper has joined the Reds on a one-year deal, with the club holding an option to extend his stay for a further year.
Izquierdo joined Palace on scholarship terms in January 2021 after impressing during a trial period and quickly established himself at under-16 and under-18 level.
During the 2022/23 campaign, he became the under-18s' first-choice goalkeeper, keeping four clean sheets in 19 appearances across all competitions.
His performances also saw him named on the under-21s bench for Crystal Palace's EFL Trophy fixtures.
Izquierdo continued his development, over the following two seasons, while also regularly training with the Eagles’ first team.
He was part of the side that lifted the Premier League International Cup after beating PSV at Selhurst Park, and went on to make further appearances in Premier League 2 and European competition during the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons.
Crawley head coach Colin Kazim-Richards said: “Jackson is another valuable asset for the club. He came in towards the start of pre-season and has done really well, and took to what we wanted to do straight away.
“He will be fighting for his position, which is exactly what we want, and I think he has a great future ahead of him.”
