Recorded years are not proof of uninterrupted senior appearances or a direct transfer. See our data scope and corrections policy.

Reading the Aston Villa–Crystal Palace connection

Stuart Taylor, Scott Sinclair, Gábor Király are among the names recorded at both clubs. These are career links: the players need not have moved directly between the two clubs.

The latest year among these records is 2026, for Evann Guessand. This is a snapshot date within a career record, not confirmation of the player’s current club.

Use the years to distinguish an early career spell from a later return. A merged year range can span separate spells; consult the underlying record before treating it as continuous first-team service.

Use the pairing as a football quiz

Try to name one connection before looking at the table, then compare your answer. In a shared-player duel, the challenge is to recall a valid name before your opponent. This web archive is a reference snapshot, not a guarantee about today’s live game pool.
