Career

Dreher joined the Crystal Palace academy system at the age of nine and in April 2016, reached the first team squad for the first time as an unused substitute in an away fixture against Manchester United.[2] He was also named as the club's under-18 player of the year in May 2016.[2]

At the start of the 2016–17 season, Dreher was again included in the first-team squad, but then incurred two separate injuries which kept him out of action for almost six months. Upon his return, he was made captain of the Palace under-23 side.[3]

Dreher made his senior debut in a home 5–3 win against Bournemouth on 12 May 2019, as an injury-time substitute for Andros Townsend.[4]

In Summer 2019, Dreher sustained an injury during pre-season training. Despite this, in October, he signed a contract extension until June 2021.[5]
