Ollie Palmer left Wrexham ahead of deadline day, joining League Two hopefuls Swindon Town on a permanent deal.
Ollie Palmer‘s time at Wrexham always looked as though it would come to an end this summer, and after some back and forth, Swindon Town signed Palmer on a two-year deal.
The 33-year-old striker is among several players to have left Wrexham this summer, along with fellow strike partner Paul Mullin who joined Wigan Athletic on loan.
Towards the end of the window, names like George Evans, Tom O’Connor and Eoghan O’Connell also left the club.
