Birmingham City have completed the signing of Crystal Palace's out-of-contract winger Julian Gray on a three-year contract.
The 24-year-old was one of the guiding lights in the Eagles' promotion to the Premiership, but he has decided to move on and link up with former Palace boss Steve Bruce at St Andrew's.
He told the club's official website: "The time I spent working under Steve Bruce at Palace was a big factor in me deciding to join Birmingham.
"I built up a good working relationship with Steve. I like the way that he deals with everyone individually and gets to know you as a person.
"I have spoken to both Clinton (Morrison) and Mikael (Forssell) since they have been there and they have told me what a good club it is."
Gray have been at Selhurst Park for four years, making just under 150 appearances for the club.
