Early life

Career
Barnsley
After a decade with Manchester City's academy, he was released in 2016, and joined Barnsley.[5][6] He signed an 18-month professional contract with Barnsley in January 2017.[7] In July 2018, he signed a one-year contract extension with Barnsley.[6][8] On 21 December 2018, Palmer joined National League North club Darlington on a one-month loan.[9] On 23 January 2019, Palmer's loan at Darlington was extended until the end of the seasons.[10] He made 18 appearances on loan at Darlington.[2] In May 2019, Palmer signed a new contract with Barnsley until summer 2020.[11]
In May 2020, Barnsley announced that Palmer had signed a new two-year contract with the club.[12] Palmer made his debut for Barnsley on 20 June 2020 against Queens Park Rangers in the EFL Championship.[13] He made 3 league appearances during the 2019–20 season.[14] Palmer made a first-team breakthrough during the 2020–21 season, making 36 league appearances.[13][15] He scored his first goal for Barnsley in a 2–1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers on 28 November 2020.[16] Despite starting his career as an attacking midfielder, Palmer was used mainly as a holding midfielder during the 2020–21 season as Barnsley finished 5th in the Championship, qualifying for the play-offs.[17] He played in both legs of their play-off semi-final defeat to Swansea City.[15]
Barnsley manager Valerien Ismael and Palmer's midfield partner Alex Mowatt both left the club in summer 2021, leaving Palmer as the oldest midfielder in Barnsley's squad.[18][19] He made 33 appearances for Barnsley during the 2021–22 season, scoring once against Millwall, in what the Barnsley Chronicle described as a "very tough campaign" for Palmer.[20][18] Barnsley were relegated to EFL League One after a 24th-place finish in the Championship.[21]
Göztepe
On 1 July 2022, Palmer joined TFF First League club Göztepe after seven years at Barnsley.[22][23]
