'Fight for my shirt' - Wrexham striker sends out strong message on future at Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side amid continued talk of summer exit

Club Friendlies

Wrexham

<p>Palmer celebrated his 33th birthday in January and has also slipped down the pecking order at the club following the arrivals of Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez. The situation has led to speculation that Palmer could be offloaded in the summer transfer window, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-ollie-palmer-stay-phil-parkinson-wrexham-legends-championship/blt8aaf51fd098fb024#cs475bc5b5542c851b" target="_blank">but the veteran is determined to stay at the club and fight for his place</a>.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has already confirmed Palmer and Paul Mullin will be part of the squad next season, but the striker has made it clear that he is ready to fight for a place in the starting XI even if competition for places does intensify <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-phil-parkinson-targeting-premier-league-stars-promotion-championship/bltdb6c94e7c3803db0" target="_blank">over the summer by the arrival of new additions from the Premier League</a>.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told CBS Sports Golazo: "I've actually had that since I arrived.&nbsp; So I arrived January 2022, three-and-a-half years ago, and the following summer everyone was like 'Palmer is going to leave'. Every window I've been at the club people think that I'm going to leave. My family are down in London and I commute between the two, so I travel up from London to Wrexham.&nbsp;I think I worked out that since I signed for Wrexham I could have driven to America and back, something ridiculous like that. There's always those rumours but I'm going to come back.&nbsp;It's obviously a hugely talented squad already, and the gaffer is going to build on that, but I'm going to come back, fight for my shirt, get fit, get ready and go again."</p>

WHAT PALMER SAID

<p>Palmer and the Wrexham squad will be back in action in July when they travel to Australia and New Zealand for a pre-season tour ahead of the start of the 2025-26 Championship campaign.</p>
