Kasey Remel Palmer (born 9 November 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for club Luton Town on loan from club Hull City. Born in England, he represented his country of birth up to under-21 level, before electing to play for Jamaica at senior level.
Making a handful of appearances for the Under-18s during the remainder of his inaugural season, Palmer became an influential figure in Adi Viveash's side for the 2013–14 while making sporadic appears from the bench for the Under-19s and Under-21s.
His first success came with the Under-21s, when he made appearances in the semi-final and final of the end-of-season playoffs before Dermot Drummy's team were named league champions. He later featured as a substitute in every round of the club's successful FA Youth Cup campaign while netting twice.
He also played in all four UEFA Youth League knockout ties, while scoring against Zenit St Petersburg in the second round before the Blues lifted the cup. The 2015–16 season also proved successful for Palmer, who scored three goals in five matches as they retained their crown.
Tipped as one of the academy's most promising talents, Palmer signed a new contract in February 2016, which committed his future to the club until the end of the 2018–19 season. He was given his first taste of senior football under manager Guus Hiddink, being named as an unused substitute against Swansea City in April 2016.
On 3 July 2017, Palmer signed a contract extension with Chelsea tying him to the club until 2021. A day later, Palmer's loan spell at Huddersfield Town was extended for a further season. On 2 January 2018, Palmer announced via Twitter that he would be leaving Huddersfield following the termination of his loan, after only featuring in five games all season.
Palmer was part of the Sky Blues' squad that reached the 2022/23 Play-Off final which they eventually lost to Luton Town. Palmer had been set to miss the final through an injury he had picked up earlier that season, however declared himself fit to take part and was handed a place on the bench. Palmer was brought on in the 80th minute of the final but was later withdrew in extra-time.
On 20 January 2024, Palmer was the victim of alleged racial abuse in a league match away at Sheffield Wednesday. The incident received global condemnation with many taking the time to express their support to Palmer, including FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Coventry and Wednesday met again just two weeks later on 6 February 2024 in the FA Cup, Palmer opened the scoring in the 3rd minute and lifted his shirt to reveal the slogan 'Less talk, more action' on his base layer.
He has also made a single appearance for England Under-18s on 14 October 2013. Palmer played 73 minutes of a 4–0 win over Hungary, which was his first international match played in his home country.
After impressive displays for his club, Palmer received his first Under-20 call-up two and a half years after his previous international appearance. He played 45 minutes in a 2–1 defeat to Canada on 27 March 2016 and marked his debut with his nation's only goal of the game.
In May 2016, Palmer was part of the England Under-21 squad crowned champions of the 2016 Toulon Tournament.
In March 2021 he was one of eight English-born players to receive their first call-up to the Jamaica national team. He made his full international debut in a 4–1 loss to the United States on 25 March 2021.
On 28 May 2025, Palmer scored his first goal for Jamaica, a penalty, during a 3–2 win against Trinidad and Tobago during the 2025 Unity Cup.
