Career

[edit]

Palmer progressed through the Barnsley youth ranks but was released in February 2009 and signed for Scunthorpe United where he became youth team captain.[1] Palmer signed his first professional contract in June 2010 on a one-year deal.[2] He made his professional debut on 30 August 2011, in the Football League Trophy 2–0 win over Hartlepool United at Glanford Park.[3]

He joined Southport on loan in January 2012.[4] Later that season he joined Harrogate Town on loan[5] and made his club debut in a 2–1 home defeat to Vauxhall Motors.[6] He was released by Scunthorpe in May 2012.[7]

Palmer signed for Hinckley United in September 2012.[8] He made his debut in a 2–0 home loss against Halifax Town a day later. In October, he moved, signing for Droylsden.[9]

Palmer further consolidated his presence in the Stockport back line during the 2019/20 season with a string of highly consistent performances which saw also saw him score five league goals, leaving him Stockport's third top scorer for the season behind Elliot Osbourne and Nyal Bell.
