But in the world of football, sometimes endings need new beginnings. Ollie’s work ethic, heart, and talent were a big reason we’re in this league today. Not to mention the unlimited charisma and charm. He harnessed a lifetime of talent, heart, and work ethic to propel @wrexham_afc and the city forward. Spending time with Ollie’s incredible family: his wife, Caitlin, his incredible children, and his father, Andy, are memories forever. Ollie is my friend now and always. The positive side is that @officialstfc is an excellent club and they can experience the same feeling that @robmac and I felt when Ollie steps onto the field at The County Ground to push Swindon FC forward and up the pyramid. Thank you, Ollie. Palmer’s agreement with Swindon is for two years.Ollie is a big reason why we’re in this league today. Not to mention the unlimited charisma and charm… he harnessed a lifetime of talent, heart, and work ethic to propel Wrexham and the city forward.
