Former Southampton and Crystal Palace midfielder Jason Puncheon has joined Cypriot side Pafos FC, with the club heralding the signing as "the greatest transfer" in their history.

The 33-year-old has joined on a free transfer after leaving Palace, signing a two-year deal.

Pafos said they were getting a player who "is brilliant on both wings."

"This is one of the most important transfers in Cypriot football," their statement added.

Puncheon, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Huddersfield from Palace, added: "I am honoured to be joining Pafos FC.

"I believe the club has big potential and I am happy to become a part of the team and will work hard to bring Pafos to new successes."
