Matt Palmer Signs

[SwalePie]

We have further bolstered our midfield with the acquisition of experienced EFL campaigner Matt Palmer on a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old arrives having racked up more than 200 EFL appearances – most recently in Sky Bet League One with Wigan Athletic and Swindon Town last season.

And Ian Burchnall believes Palmer’s profile is perfect for us.

“We’ve brought in two very talented young midfielders in Ed Francis and Frank Vincent this summer, so adding someone of Matt’s experience will give us great balance in the central area,” said the head coach.

“Matt’s played more than 50 games in the Championship, around 80 in League One and nearly 100 in League Two so he brings a lot of know-how to the squad while, at the age of 26, he still has plenty to offer in terms of development and improvement.

“We’re looking at him playing a similar role to Jake Reeves towards the end of last season. He could play deep, but we see him more as a box-to-box midfielder who can contribute to the attacking side of the game.

“Matt’s got a great eye for a forward pass and will also contribute a lot when we’re looking to retain possession as he’s really comfortable with the ball and very competent technically.”

Palmer’s arrival does not signal the end of the road for any of our current trialists, who will remain with the club for the time being.

“We’ve still got Lamine Kaba Sherif, William Hondermarck and Kyle Bennett on trial and they’re all showing promise,” said the head coach.

“We have the capacity to strengthen further in the midfield area should we wish to."

Need to some him play for us first of course, but ‘on paper’ that’s a very impressive signing for NL.

Got a great mix this summer. Proven performers at our level in Cameron and Nemane, some exciting youngsters in Francis and Vincent, now some experienced EFL quality to go along with it.

Yep, and still the other three are on trial. Midfield looks promising for sure.

Yet another impressive signing... if this coming season follows previous trends it means we'll be underwhelming and get relegated

Another good signing and brings some experience at a higher level at 26 but still young enough to improve and develop as part of this team.

The club really does seem to be in good hands. It's clear to me from the signings we are making that the foundations are being put in place for a young hungry developing team under the guidance of IB in which the squad will grow and hopefully when we get promoted it will continue to grow and not stagnate or fall backwards.

The squad is like a young sapling and with regular watering and feeding each season (should some players grow with the club or move on to play at a higher level) I'm more confident we can emulate the Luton's and Lincoln's in the coming years.

One thing I'm certain of is when we do get back into the Football League under our current owners we will be a better club than when we left it as we already are in my opinion.
