Craig lost his place at Palace after suffering a shoulder injury

Millwall have re-signed defender Tony Craig from Crystal Palace for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old, a lifelong Millwall fan, left the club to join Palace just over a year ago but returned to the New Den on loan in March.

"I was very impressed with Tony during his loan spell," said Millwall boss Kenny Jackett. "He'll be a good asset."

Craig, who has agreed a three-year deal, played a major role in keeping the Lions in League One last season.

After being signing for Palace by Peter Taylor last June, Craig was a first-team regular for the first two months of the season.

But he made just three starts under Taylor's successor Neil Warnock.

"He will have benefited from the experience of being away from here for a year," Jackett told Millwall's website.

"He's still a good age and he's fully focused on helping us win promotion to the Championship. I'm very much looking forward to working with him again."
