Although Albion’s dreams of Premier League promotion were dashed by Southampton in the Championship play-off semi-finals in May, Baggies academy graduate Palmer firmly established himself as number one between the sticks at the Hawthorns.
The 27-year-old featured in each of Albion’s 46 league fixtures and ended the campaign with the Championship Golden Glove with a tally of 18 clean sheets, the same amount as Leeds United shot-stopper Illan Meslier.
And after a long season reached its conclusion, Palmer jetted off to Greece to tie the knot with long-term partner Penny.
“Everyone told me to take a moment and take it all in on the day because it goes so quickly, which it did,” Palmer told the club website.
“We all had a good time, though, and it was a really special day.
“Jed Wallace came. We’re quite close off the pitch and we live in the same area. We’ve only known each other for a couple of years but we get on really well.
