Crystal Palace complete Stephen Dobbie transfer

Crystal Palace have signed 30-year-old midfielder Stephen Dobbie from Brighton on a two year contract. The player arrives at Selhurst Park having spent last season on loan and impressing Ian Holloway's coaching team.

Dobbie now arrives permanently and is excited about the possibility of playing Premier League football.


"I enjoyed my football last season here and I like to think I had a part helping the team get promoted," said Dobbie.


"It is every player's dream, especially in the Championship - they want to be playing in the Premier League.


"You go away and have a nice holiday, but still in the back of your mind, you've only got four weeks off, so maybe in a week and a half, you're going to know who you're playing in that first game."
