Cammy Palmer

On 3 February 2020, Palmer joined USL Championship club Orange County SC on loan for the 2020 season.

On 10 July 2019, Palmer joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on loan until January 2020. Three days later Palmer made his professional footballing debut in a 1-0 win in the Scottish League Cup against Airdrieonians at Firhill. Palmer scored his first professional goal scoring for Thistle in a 3-1 away win over Inverness.

An exciting prospect, Palmer qualifies to play for England, Scotland (through his mother’s side) and Northern Ireland (through his father’s side). He has represented Scotland at the under-17s level before going on to play with the Northern Ireland under 18’s and 19s, playing four times and scoring once at that level, in Belfast in 2018 vs Serbia during the Euro qualifiers. He currently plays with their under 21 squad.

Palmer was born in York and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is the son of Don Palmer, a church pastor, author and speaker, currently based in Glasgow, but originally from Belfast. Cammy (Cameron) moved with his family to Canada when he was only 8 months old. He started playing competitive soccer at age 5, playing for Pickering, Ajax and eventually Whitby Iroquois Soccer clubs. Whilst playing for Whitby in Ontario, former Rangers player Andy Kennedy came across the young footballer. Kennedy contacted Rangers and told them about the youngster. His family moved back to Scotland in 2011 and Palmer went on trial and very soon joined the youth ranks of the Glasgow giants. After impressing at numerous levels at the club, Palmer was named as the reserve side’s team captain in 2018.

Cameron "Cammy" Palmer (born 15 May 2000) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for USL Championship side Orange County SC on loan from Rangers.
