# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Sam Woods exit

**Crystal Palace [announced](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1427988027276677125) on Wednesday afternoon that defender Sam Woods has left the club.**

And a number of Eagles supporters have been giving their reaction to the confirmation on social media.

The 22-year-old signed professional terms with the club back in [2017](https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/sam-woods-signs-crystal-palace-pro-terms-4186228) and made his senior debut against [Middlesbrough](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/sam-woods-departs-crystal-palace/2021-08-18/) a year later.

Woods made a total of [four](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/sam-woods-departs-crystal-palace/2021-08-18/) senior appearances for Palace and was sent out on loan to [Hamilton and Plymouth Argyle](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/sam-woods-departs-crystal-palace/2021-08-18/) during his time at Selhurst Park.

He has become the latest player that Palace have wished well, with a number of senior first-team members also departing the club over the summer such as [Scott Dann](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/scott-dann-departs-palace-after-seven-years/2021-08-12/), [Patrick van Aanholt](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/patrick-van-aanholt-departs-crystal-palace/2021-07-28/) and [James McCarthy](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/james-mccarthy-leaves-crystal-palace/2021-08-03/).

Woods has technically been a free agent since the beginning of [July](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sam-woods/profil/spieler/611650) but the club have only just officially confirmed his departure almost two months on.

**“Weird flex. No mention of where he is going, and we have known he was leaving for so long. Why so long with doing this then? Idk”**

**“Starting to like the narrative more that just because some players have Palace pyjamas, curtains or are a fan of the club – it doesn’t always warrant them anything in terms of first team opportunities. 22 years old – only 16 professional apps across 3 teams: wasn’t meant to be.”**
