Jermaine Ashley Clifton Palmer (born August 28 1986 in Derby, England) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays for Halesowen Town. He played professionally for Stoke City and Grimsby Town before moving into Non League.

Jermaine Palmer was added to the senior squad at Stoke City in the summer of 2004, but as many youngsters in the footballing trade, he found it hard to break into the team and was loaned out to Icelandic club Vikingur where he made an impression on the clubs staff and fans. On his return to England, Palmer found himself loaned out again, this time spending time with Hinckley United before being allowed to go out on trial to Grimsby Town .

Mariners manager Russell Slade took a closer look at him as he participated in the clubs reserve cup quarter final tie with Manchester United . Palmer returned to Stoke, but was the first new signing at Grimsby Town for the new 2005/2006 season.

With the fans expecting Palmer to go straight into the team, he found his path blocked and found himself playing second fiddle to Michael Reddy , Gary Jones , Martin Gritton , and even new loan signing Calvin Andrew , with this in mind almost straight into the new season Palmer was farmed out on loan to Scarborough to gain experience and maintain fitness. Following a month with The Seadogs, Palmer returned to Grimsby only to be loaned straight back out to York City and then later in the season he spent a month with Alfreton Town

The only time Palmer appeared on the Grimsby team sheet was when he was named as a substitute in the Football League Trophy defeat to Morecambe . At the end of the season Jermaine was released from Grimsby Town and sunk into the depths of non league. Where since July 2006 he had featured for Worksop Town , Grantham Town , Hinckley United and most recently Halesowen Town .
