The goalkeeper played for West Brom in the Championship last season but departed the club upon the expiration of his contract this summer. The 29-year-old leaves the Hawthorns after four seasons in which he amassed a total of 167 appearances for the Birmingham club and will now return to the Premier League, a division in which the English goalkeeper impressed during the 2020-21 campaign.

Those performances saw Johnstone make three appearances for Gareth Southgate’s England side and was named in the 26-man squad for Euro 2020 as a result last summer.

Speaking about his move to Palace to the club’s website, Johnstone said: “I’m really excited to be here at Crystal Palace. It’s a great club with fantastic facilities and brilliant supporters – I can’t wait to get started.”
