A Palace fan through and through, Eastwood grew up in Biggin Hill and has been at the club since the age of eight.
Inspired by his late father, who was also a Palace fan, Eastwood has always been a goalkeeper. He has gone from strength to strength as he has progressed through the age groups.
After making the Under-18s bench seven times in the 2021/22 campaign, Eastwood earned a Scholarship in the summer of 2022.
In his first year as a scholar, Eastwood was named in the U18 matchday squad 13 times and made four appearances for the U18s. His first start came in a 4-3 win over Arsenal in March 2023.
Eastwood was a part of the Under-21s side which went on tour to Salt Lake City in the 2023/24 pre-season. He started the 23/24 campaign with a clean sheet against Southampton in a 5-0 win.
He finished 23/24, his second year as a scholar, with six clean sheets in 29 appearances across all competitions for Rob Quinn's U18s. He was also named on the bench for the U21s on three occasions.
