Jermaine Palmer

He then joined Grimsby Town on trial and Mariners manager Russell Slade took a closer look at him as he participated in the club's reserve cup quarter final tie with Manchester United. Palmer returned to Stoke, but was the first new signing at Grimsby Town for the new 2005–06 season.

His only senior appearance for Grimsby came in the Football League Trophy clash with Morecambe in which Palmer replaced Simon Francis in the 87th minute of play. The game went on to extra time, with Morecambe winning on a penalty shootout. This would be the only time Jermaine would appear on the Grimsby team sheet and after seeing the rest of the season out in the reserves he was released from his contract at the end of the 2005–06 season. Since leaving the club, Palmer went on to move into the English non-league game, featuring for Worksop Town, Grantham Town, Hinckley United and Halesowen Town initially before joining Corby Town in December 2008. In March 2009 he moved to cash strapped Weymouth, where he played out the remaining Conference season with the club. In April 2009 due to the club being relegated to the Conference South he left the club. He eventually signed for Boston Town at the start of the 2009–10 season.

Palmer was born in Derby and progressed through the academy at Stoke City, signing a professional contract in the summer of 2003. He made three substitute appearances for Stoke in 2003–04 and was loaned out to Icelandic club Víkingur where he scored three goals in eight matches in the summer of 2004. On his return to England, Palmer found himself loaned out again, this time spending time with Hinckley United. He made one appearance for Stoke in 2004–05 coming on as a sub in a 1–0 defeat at home to Sunderland.
