"I'm really excited to sign for a club of Swindon's stature," Palmer told the club website., external
"The ambition here is clear, and I want to play my part in helping the team push up the table and compete for promotion."

He had not played in a competitive fixture since February when he scored two stoppage-time headers against Hull City in the EFL Cup earlier this month, to send the game to penalties which Wrexham went on to win 5-3.
Palmer has also played for Crawley, Leyton Orient, Mansfield, Lincoln, AFC Wimbledon, Luton and Grimsby across his career which has seen him play more than 500 games in English football.
Confirming the departure on social media Wrexham said: "After an historic three-and-a-half-year association with the Red Dragons, an agreement has been reached for Ollie Palmer to depart the Club by mutual consent."
The Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned Championship club added: "All the best for the future, Ollie!"
