Great servant
Palmer joined the Owls when he was seven and rose up through their youth ranks.

Thoughts?
Tying up a new contract for Palmer this early in the season will be a shrewd bit of business by Sheffield Wednesday.
It will be one less thing to worry about for Darren Moore’s side and will mean Palmer can solely focus on playing knowing his future is secure.
He is a vastly experienced player and is a popular figure at Hillsborough meaning this news that he is close to a new deal will go down well with their fans.
