Notts County Captain Matt Palmer Extends Contract

Notts County’s captain, Matt Palmer, has committed his future to the League Two club by signing a new contract, which will keep him at the team until the conclusion of the 2026-27 season. Palmer has made 130 appearances for Notts County, contributing four goals and 18 assists. The 29-year-old midfielder has been a member of the Magpies for three years and played a vital role in their ascent from the National League during the 2022-23 campaign. Although Palmer was sidelined for the majority of the previous season due to an ACL injury, he has since made 19 appearances across all competitions in the current campaign. A statement released by the club highlighted Palmer’s significance, noting, “Matt has been a crucial player for many seasons now and his unfortunate recent absence only further highlighted his importance to the team.” The statement continued, “He is a magnificent midfielder who we believe can continue to be a mainstay in our team as we look to progress up the pyramid – and we know he shares those ambitions.” “We’re proud to call him our captain and we look forward to having him with us for the foreseeable future.” Notts County currently holds the sixth position in League Two, trailing the automatic promotion spots by four points, ahead of their match against Colchester United scheduled for this weekend.
