Crystal Palace confirm Dundee move for Owen Goodman after Huddersfield Town and Barnsley FC spells
Crystal Palace have confirmed a new loan challenge for Owen Goodman after his Huddersfield Town and Barnsley spells
Crystal Palace have sent goalkeeper Owen Goodman on loan to Dundee following his spells at Huddersfield Town and Barnsley.
The 22-year-old was loaned out to West Yorkshire last summer and started the 2025/26 season as Huddersfield’s first-choice stopper.
He eventually lost his spot between the sticks to Lee Nicholls and saw his Terriers deal terminated in January. Barnsley swooped to take Goodman for the second half of the campaign and provided him with regular minutes.
He was named in the Canada squad for the recent World Cup, but remained on understudy duty throughout the tournament.
New loan challenge for Owen Goodman
Scottish Premiership outfit Dundee have now struck a deal for Goodman, who has sealed his fifth loan move away from Selhurst Park. He is due to spent the entirety of the 2026/27 season at Dens Park.
Goodman said: “It’s a big league, the Scottish Premiership. There’s some big games. When Dundee came in, it was just something I had to go for.
“I’m excited for a new challenge and the next step in my career, and I’m happy to try something new. The pitch looks unbelievable, and everyone has been really welcoming so I’m excited for it all.”
Owen Goodman’s struggle at Huddersfield Town
Having impressed acros loan spells at Colchester United and AFC Wimbledon, Goodman was in new territory when he found it tough at Huddersfield.
Reflecting on his time at the Accu Stadium after joining Huddersfield’s Yorkshire rivals Barnsley, he said: “At the time, it’s hard to see the learning experience. But coming away from it and speaking to people, it’s a massive learning experience because it’s the lows of football that no one really wants to experience and be a part of.
“I think every player ends up going through it at some point. But obviously, at the end of the day, I’m grateful for the experience I got to have. I’m just going to learn from it and that’s the main thing for me as a young goalkeeper, just to keep learning and just keep playing football.
“Obviously, my loan at Huddersfield wasn’t as great as I would have liked it to be. For me, being a young goalkeeper, it’s a lot of learning.”
