However, he then joined on a permanent deal during the January transfer window of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The midfielder was involved in several key moments throughout his tenure. None more so than giving Palace the lead during the 2016 FA Cup final against <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchesterunitedfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a>. Furthermore, he arguably scored the goal that kept the Eagles in the division in a 1-0 win against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/norwich-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norwich City<\/a>. It ended a run of 14 games without a win.<\/p>\n<p>Having begun the season as captain at the start of the 2017\/18 season, his campaign would be cut short as he suffered a career-threatening ligament injury in a draw against <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchestercityfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, he has struggled to regain his place back in the Palace side. To regain first team minutes, Roy Hodgson sent him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/46764967\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on loan<\/a> to struggling<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/huddersfield-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Huddersfield Town<\/a>. Now, though, when he returns, Jason Puncheon will leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<h2>Club Statement<\/h2>\n<p>Similar to the announcement of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/05\/09\/julian-speroni-to-leave-crystal-palace-at-the-end-of-the-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Julian Speroni&#8217;s departure<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpfc.co.uk\/news\/2019\/may\/jason-puncheon-to-depart-crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the news was released via the club&#8217;s official website<\/a>.
