Crystal Palace Academy player Adler Nascimento has signed professional forms with the club.
The Portuguese teenager joined from Peterborough United this season, having made his professional debut as a 16-year-old on the final day of the League One season in May 2021.
He impressed for Posh’s Under-18s side as they retained the Youth Alliance League in 20/21, scoring a hat-trick against title-rivals Leyton Orient. Nascimento also scored twice as Peterborough reached the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup, and has played nine times for Rob Quinn’s Under-18s this season.
Upon signing his professional contract, Nascimento said: “I’m really pleased to have signed these forms with Palace. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being around the boys and working in these facilities, and am really grateful to the club for putting faith in me like this.”
Academy Director Gary Issott said of Nascimento: “We’re delighted that Adler sees Crystal Palace as the best place to continue his development. It demonstrates the commitment the club has put into the Academy in recent years, and we hope that with the benefit of the new facilities Adler can fulfil his potential with us.”
