Palmer joins the Swans with coaching experience at all of Gloucester City, Cardiff City, Cheltenham Town, Forest Green Rovers, Tuffley Rovers and Longlevens.

Speaking on his appointment, Palmer said:

"I’m pleased to share that I’ve joined Slimbridge Football Club as joint Manager alongside Deaks. 

It’s a privilege to be part of a great club with such strong values, ambition, and talent. It’s a great opportunity to grow as a manager and challenge myself, and be part of a group that shares the same passion and drive for the game. 

I’m looking forward to working with the players, staff, and wider community to build something special both on and off the pitch."

Everyone at Slimbridge welcomes Palmer to Thornhill Park ahead of the 2025/26 season. 

Up the Swans!
