Shot-stopper Yañez joined Palace at the beginning of the 2024/25 to build on an impressive first half-season in the Women's Super League with Bristol City.
The American shot-stopper signed for Palace on a permanent deal from the Robins, where she spent the second half of 2023/24 competing in the WSL.
Before her six-month stint with the Robins, Yañez represented National Women’s Soccer League outfit San Diego Wave.
It is not the Macon-born goalkeeper’s first spell in English football, however, as she previously spent three seasons with London City Lionesses, keeping a club-record 24 clean sheets in 72 appearances and helping them finish Women’s Championship runners-up in 2021/22.
Yañez also had another spell in the NWSL with Washington Spirit, where she began her professional career.
She featured in all but three WSL games last season, proving to be very reliable between the sticks.
