Biography:

As a Blues Academy player, Patrick Palmer was previously allocated to Cardiff RFC and  played much of his rugby in 2008 for his club of origin, Llantrisant.

The tight head prop had been a key member of the Wales under 20s squad which contested the age grade World Cup during June 2008, and was a highly valued addition to the Pontypridd squad during the 2008 - 2009 season.

Making his mark as a solid scrummager, and an industrious operator in the loose, typifying the role of the modern front-rower, Pat was called up to cover for the Blues senior squad in 2009.
