Ollie Palmer officially leaves Wrexham
A number of clubs wanted the Wrexham striker during the summer transfer window.
But it emerged on Thursday that Palmer was signing for Swindon Town, and an official statement has now been made confirming the transfer.
The official statement from the League Two side on their website stated: “Swindon Town are delighted to announce the signing of striker Ollie Palmer on a two-year contract, subject to EFL approval.
“The 33-year-old frontman makes the move to the County Ground after a successful spell in North Wales, where he played a key role in Wrexham’s promotion-winning campaign and contributed with vital goals across his time at the Racecourse Ground.
“Standing at 6ft 5in, Palmer is known for his physicality, aerial threat, and ability to bring others into play, making him a constant presence for opposition defenders. Over a career spanning more than a decade, he has represented clubs including Mansfield Town, Leyton Orient, Lincoln City, Crawley Town, AFC Wimbledon, and, most recently, Wrexham, amassing over 500 career appearances.”
