England Based Star, Goodman, Signs Contract Extension

Owen Olamidayo Goodman, an 18-year-old England-based goalkeeping sensation, who is eligible to play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has signed a contract extension with his U-21 Crystal Palace Club.

The club, which announced this via its website, expressed happiness that they will continue to retain the services of the Nigerian-born player, who has been consistent in performance since the 2020/2021 season.

Goodman, who has been touted to end the Super Eagles of Nigeria’s goalkeeping nightmare, has seen his performances earn him a place on the first-team bench against Wolverhampton Wanderers in October 2022.

According to the club’s academy director, Gary Issott, Goodman, who has been at the club since Under13s, has worked his way up through the ranks and has adapted his playing style to fit the requirements of a modern-day goalkeeper.

“He is one of the most exciting young goalkeepers we have had here in my time at the football club.

“The fact that he is now committed to his long-term future here is great news and it shows how committed the owners and the club are to getting and retaining the best young talent,”Issott stated.

Speaking on his new deal, Goodman said: “It feels great to sign this contract extension. I get to be here for a lot longer and I get to continue to show what I can do.”

The goalkeeper was born in Canada to a Nigerian mother and British father.

This means he can represent Canada, Nigeria and England for his international career.
