Palmer joins from Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side Reading City.
He
was the Berkshire club’s top scorer last season and will dual-register with the
Citizens for 2020/21.
Palmer,
who can play off either flank, has made a name for himself in a wide left
position.
He
set the Hellenic League alight during the previous campaign courting many
admirers.
Palmer
joined Reading last year having previously had spells with Bracknell Town,
Thatcham Town and Marlow.
Manager
Dan Brownlie told https://btfc.co.uk: “Needless
to say, I’m really pleased to get McKoy signed up; it’s been a long time coming
as he is someone I’ve been after for quite a while now. He’s a talented boy –
he’s blessed with good pace, great with the ball at his feet and has a real eye
for goal. The fact he can take the ball on either side has and will continue to
cause full-backs nightmares. There’s no reason why he can’t cause the same
damage in the Southern League as he did in the Hellenic.
“I
must add that Simon Johnson, the Reading City manager, who has helped develop
McKoy over the past year, has been very good with the signing and encouraged
him to make the step up and in our direction. He’s had a few injuries over the
course of the past year – he’s already been in with our physio, Gideon, to
strengthen the areas of concern. He’ll sign on dual registration with Reading
City to enable him a good opportunity to return to full fitness should there be
a recurrence, but he’s on the right path to hit the ground running.
“We’re
excited about what the future holds for this lad – if he continues to back
himself, trust in his own ability and work hard – then we’ve no doubt you’ll be
hearing his name sung from the terraces with him quickly becoming a fans
favourite. He’s an entertainer with a ruthless edge in front of goal”. |
