Darryl Flahavan

Darryl Flahavan has hinted he would be open to a loan move in January after finding opportunities hard to come by at Crystal Palace.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper made his first appearance in the Championship this season on Saturday against Cardiff City, replacing Julian Speroni who's wife gave birth at the weekend.

Speroni has been in outstanding form this season, which has meant Flahavan has been reduced to playing reserve football.

When asked about his future, the former Southend stopper told the Croydon Advertiser: "It depends on what club it is, but obviously, I want to play football.

"At my age it's not doing me any favours sitting in the stands.

"But I knew the situation when I came here."
