Biography

Oliver James "Ollie" Palmer (born 21 January 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two club Luton Town, on loan from League Two club Leyton Orient.

Career

Woking

Born in Epsom, Surrey, Palmer attended Therfield School from 2003 to 2008 before progressing through the youth system at Woking. He was selected for the England Colleges National Team in 2010, and later signed a first-team contract in August of that year. Palmer was subsequently loaned out to fellow Conference South club St Albans City in November 2010 and scored one goal from five appearances. He finished 2010–11 with two goals from 20 appearances for Woking and signed a new one-year contract with the club after the end of the season.

Havant & Waterlooville

After he was recalled from a loan spell at Boreham Wood, Palmer signed for fellow Conference South club Havant & Waterlooville permanently in September 2011. After seven goals from five appearances, League One club Charlton Athletic were reportedly interested in signing him. Later that season, Premier League club Chelsea were reported to be scouting Palmer in March 2012. Palmer finished 2012–13 as Conference South joint top scorer with 25 goals from 42 appearances and was also named Player of the Year.

Mansfield Town

Palmer signed for newly promoted League Two club Mansfield Town on 2 August 2013 on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee. He debuted a day later as a 61st-minute substitute in a 2–0 defeat away to Scunthorpe United and scored his first goal in a 1–0 win away to Wycombe Wanderers on 17 August.

On 5 January 2015, Palmer joined Conference Premier club Grimsby Town on an initial one-month loan. He scored on his debut at home to league-leaders Barnet on 17 January, scoring Grimsby's first goal in a 3–1 victory. Palmer's loan at Grimsby was extended on 30 January until the end of the season. He missed a month due to a hamstring injury, scoring on his return with the opener away to former club Woking on 7 March, which finished as a 2–1 victory. Palmer scored a brace in the play-off semi-final second leg against Eastleigh, the first coming in the 35th minute and the second coming in the 71st minute, which made the score 3–0, meaning Grimsby won the tie 5–1 on aggregate. He started in the 2015 Conference Premier play-off Final at Wembley Stadium on 17 May 2015, which finished as a 1–1 draw after extra time, but Grimsby lost the subsequent penalty shoot-out 5–3 to Bristol Rovers.

Leyton Orient

On 6 July 2015, Palmer signed for League Two club Leyton Orient for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract. He debuted on the opening day of 2015–16 in a 2–0 win at home to Barnet, having entered the match as an 89th-minute substitute and scored his first goal after being introduced as a 76th-minute substitute in a 3–0 win at home to Stevenage on 18 August.

On 31 January 2017, Palmer joined League Two club Luton Town on loan until the end of 2016–17. He debuted four days later in a 1–1 draw away to former loan club Grimsby Town, having entered the match as a 58th-minute substitute. After coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, Palmer scored his first goal for Luton with the third goal in a 3–0 victory at home to Hartlepool United on 14 February.

Personal life

Palmer's father spent 20 years as personal bodyguard to the heir to the throne, Charles, Prince of Wales.
