Striker Palmer ready to 'fight for my shirt'published at 14:53 28 May

Striker Ollie Palmer is determined to reclaim his place in the Wrexham starting side despite falling out of favour in the 2024-25 campaign.
Palmer, 33, and fellow frontman Paul Mullin were instrumental in back-to-back promotions that took Wrexham out of the National League and then up to League One.
But following the January gs of forwards Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez, both Palmer and Mullin struggled for game time as Wrexham claimed promotion to the Championship.
Palmer told CBS Sports: "I've got another season [left on his contract]. I've actually had that [rumours of leaving] since I arrived in January 2021, three-and-a-half years ago. Every window since I've been at the club, people think I'm going to leave.
"There's always those rumours there, but I'm going to come back, fight for my shirt, get fit, get ready and go again with the football club."
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has already confirmed to BBC Sport Wales that Mullin and Palmer would remain at the club for next season, previously saying: "Mulls and Ollie will always be legends at this club for what they've done. They're under contract next year and they'll be back in pre-season ready to go again."
But with Wrexham poised to strengthen the squad once more in the transfer market, Palmer is under no illusion that competition for places will be even more fierce next season.
He added: "Since I've been at Wrexham, new players have come through the door like Steven Fletcher, James McClean and Jay Rodriguez. They're great people, by the way, before you even talk about their footballing ability.
"I think the gaffer [Parkinson] will keep doing that by bringing in good people first and then bringing good footballers after. That's what we build our foundations on.
"We get linked with everyone, though, it is ridiculous. The manager knows who he wants, I'm sure, and the club will do their best to go out and get those players."
