  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Wrexham have confirmed that Palmer has left the club after an historic three-and-a-half-year spell at the StoK Cae Ras. The club legend joined in January of 2022, when the club were still in the National League. He scored 46 goals in 156 appearances as the Welsh side rose through the leagues and up to the Championship.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Now, Palmer has completed a move to Swindon Town, signing a two-year contract, and will continue his career in League Two. He has played 288 times in the fourth-tier of English football, scoring 61 goals. 

  • WHAT PALMER SAID

    Palmer told Swindon's website: "I’m really excited to sign for a club of Swindon’s stature. The ambition here is clear, and I want to play my part in helping the team push up the table and compete for promotion. I’m looking forward to meeting the lads, working with the manager, and getting started in front of the fans at the County Ground.

    "When I spoke with the manager, his vision for the club really stood out. The way Swindon finished last season shows what this team is capable of, and I can’t wait to be a part of it."
