Ollie Palmer Leaves Wrexham by Mutual Consent, Joins Swindon on Two-Year Deal

The 33-year-old exits after three-and-a-half years that included three promotions.

Overview

  • Wrexham confirmed the departure of striker Ollie Palmer on Friday, with the forward signing for League Two side Swindon Town on a two-year contract.
  • Palmer arrived from AFC Wimbledon in January 2022 for a then club-record £300,000 fee and scored 46 goals in 156 appearances.
  • He played a key part in Wrexham’s rise through the divisions and featured prominently in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary series.
  • His playing time dwindled in the second half of last season after the arrivals of Jay Rodriguez and Sam Smith, and he was offered a loan move before choosing to stay and fight for his place.
  • He signed off with a dramatic late brace against Hull City in the Carabao Cup that forced a penalty shootout, drawing an emotional ovation from home supporters.
