Club career

Chelsea

Palmer joined Charlton Athletic at the age of nine, and featured for the club for the majority of his youth career. Having represented his nation at youth level, Palmer attracted interest from Chelsea and made the move in March 2013. Due to their academy status, the Blues were able to sign Palmer for only a small compensation fee.

Making a handful of appearances for the Under-18s during the remainder of his inaugural season, Palmer became an influential figure in Adrian Viveash's side for the 2013–14 while making sporadic appears from the bench for the Under-19s and Under-21s.[2]

His first success came with the Under-21s, when he made appearances in the semi-final and final of the end-of-season playoffs before Dermot Drummy's team were named league champions. He later featured as a substitute in every round of the club's successful FA Youth Cup campaign while netting twice.[2]

He also played in all four UEFA Youth League knockout ties, while scoring against Zenit St Petersburg in the second round before the Blues lifted the cup.[2] The 2015–16 season also proved successful for Palmer, who scored three goals in five matches as they retained their crown.[3]

Tipped as one of the academy's most promising talents, Palmer signed a new contract in February 2016, which committed his future to the club until the end of the 2018–19 season.[4] He was given his first taste of senior football under manager Guus Hiddink, being named as an unused substitute against Swansea City in April 2016.[5]

Loan to Huddersfield Town

On 15 July 2016, Palmer joined Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan.[6] He made his professional debut on 6 August, replacing Jack Payne in the 78th minute of a 2–1 win over Brentford. Palmer scored the winning goal after a minute on the pitch with just his second touch of the ball.[7] In the following league game against Newcastle United, Palmer once again came off the bench in the second-half, where he went on to set up Payne to score the winner with a through-ball to earn their second straight win.[8] After an extended period out through injury, Palmer returned to action in the Championship play-off final as Huddersfield won promotion to the Premier League.[9]

On 3 July 2017, Palmer signed a contract extension with Chelsea tying him to the club until 2021.[10] A day later, Palmer's loan spell at Huddersfield Town was extended for a further season.[11] On 2 January 2018, Palmer announced via Twitter that he would be leaving Huddersfield following the termination of his loan, after only featuring in five games all season.[12]

Loan to Derby County

On 31 January 2018, Palmer joined Championship side Derby County on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[13] He scored his first goal for Derby in a 2–2 draw against Leeds United on 21 February 2018.[14]

Loan to Blackburn Rovers

On 30 July 2018, Palmer joined Championship side Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan.[15]

Loan to Bristol City

In January 2019 he moved on loan to Bristol City.[16] In his first game he came off of the bench to score on his debut in a 2–1 win against Bolton Wanderers.[17]

Bristol City

On 1 August 2019, Palmer signed for Bristol City on a 4-year deal for a fee believed to be around £3.5 million.[18] He stated that the main reasons for joining were to gain more stability, manager Lee Johnson and his infamous chant.[19]

International career

Palmer made his debut for England Under-17s on 8 February 2013, playing for seven minutes in a 2–1 defeat to Germany. His second appearance came just two days later when England suffered another 2–1 defeat, this time to Portugal. His final appearance for the Under-17s came later that week when he came off the bench in a 1–0 defeat to the Netherlands.[20]

He has also made a single appearance for England Under-18s on 14 October 2013. Palmer played 73 minutes of a 4–0 win over Hungary, which was his first international match played in his home country.[21]

After impressive displays for his club, Palmer received his first Under-20 call-up two and a half years after his previous international appearance. He played 45 minutes in a 2–1 defeat to Canada on 27 March 2016 and marked his debut with his nation's only goal of the game.[22]

In May 2016, Palmer was part of the England Under-21 squad crowned champions of the 2016 Toulon Tournament.[23]
