Ledley relishing regular Palace action

Belief has never been an issue for Crystal Palace midfielder Joe Ledley and the Welshman admits he would not be at the club if he did not think he was good enough.

Ledley has featured in eight of Palace’s ten matches so far this season as the South London club sit 13th in the table after a mixed start.

Three wins on the bounce have been followed by three successive defeats, including Saturday’s 402 loss at home to Liverpool – who Ledley supported when he was young.

But the former Cardiff City player, who played a key role as Wales reached the last four of Euro 2016, is happy with how he has fared so far this season.

“It’s good to be in the team and playing more this season, and I’ve been quite happy with the majority of my performances,” he said.

“I have belief in my ability and I showed in the Euros what I can do for Wales, and I’ve never doubted that.

“If I didn’t think I was good enough to be here then I wouldn’t be here. There’s good competition at this club which you need and we’ve got a good mixture.”
