Cameron Jerome secures loan move to Crystal Palace

Stoke City have agreed to let Cameron Jerome join Crystal Palace on a season-long loan deal.

Jerome, who joined Stoke from Birmingham City in 2011, has found himself behind Peter Crouch, Kenwyne Jones and Jonathan Walters in the battle for a place in attack for the Potters.

Palace manager Ian Holloway moved quickly to bring Jerome to a team that were promoted from the Championship last season.

The 27-year-old forward was expected to be joined at Selhurst Park by Andy Johnson, but Palace failed to complete a deal for the Queens Park Rangers striker.

Jerome has scored 12 goals in 60 appearances for Stoke.
