Crystal Palace's Owen Goodman joins Barnsley FC on loan until end of season
The 22 year old came through the academy system at Palace
Barnsley FC has announced the loan signing of goalkeeper Owen Goodman from Crystal Palace.
The 6 ft 4 in shot-stopper will remain with the League One club until the end of the current season.
The 22-year-old arrives at Oakwell with experience at various levels of English football.
He came through Crystal Palace's Academy, signing his first professional contract in 2021.
The goalkeeper gained recognition during a loan spell with AFC Wimbledon last season, where he played 53 matches, keeping 25 clean sheets along the way.
His performances earned him a spot in the League Two Team of the Season and the Golden Glove award, playing a key role in Wimbledon’s promotion via the play-offs.
In the previous year, Goodman spent the season with Colchester United and earlier this campaign, he joined Huddersfield Town on loan, featuring in 12 matches and securing five clean sheets before returning briefly to Crystal Palace in January.
Goodman has also represented England and Canada in youth international football, opting to play for Canada at senior level. He received his first senior international call-up in November.
Barnsley FC Head Coach Conor Hourihane expressed confidence in Goodman’s abilities, saying, “We’re delighted to bring Owen in for the remainder of the season. He’s a goalkeeper with real presence, maturity beyond his years, and a hunger to keep improving."
"Owen has already shown his quality in senior football, and we believe this is a place where he can continue to grow while making us stronger as a team."
