Crystal Palace have confirmed Darren Ambrose has signed a two-year deal with the club.

The Eagles had announced a pre-contract agreement with Ambrose last month but could not formally name him as a Palace player until his deal with former club Charlton Athletic ran out yesterday.

But the winger has now committed himself to the club and taken part in his first training sessions with his new club mates.

Meanwhile, former Gillingham manager Ronnie Jepson has been confirmed as the club's new reserve team manager.
