Watford, 18:57, June 6, 2012
Academy recruitment manager Steve Palmer is to leave his post at Watford to take up a role with the Premier League.
Palmer, a two-time promotion winner with the Hornets, returned to the club six months ago to overlook the academy system at Vicarage Road but he will move on to the Premier League to design and build a performance management system for young players within the new EPPP (Elite Player Performance Plan).
"On one hand I'm very sad to be leaving the club again, so to speak," Palmer told Watford's official website. "I've had a thoroughly enjoyable, albeit brief, time back as a full-time member of staff but this was too good an opportunity to turn down.
"You could describe it as a 'dream job', I guess, in that the role combines my professional IT qualification skills with my knowledge gained within the football environment."
Head of the academy at Watford, Nick Cox, added: "I would like to thank Steve for the excellent work he has produced in the time he has been with us.
"The creation of a recruitment database and performance management system, in particular, have moved the department on greatly and will be his legacy."

Fire makes family eight people homeless in Essex town - BBC News
A family of eight has been left homeless after a fire in the second floor of their terraced home in Essex.
Firefighters were called at 17:30 BST on Tuesday to the fire at West Street in Harwich near a row of houses destroyed in December last year.
The fire was brought under control within 45 minutes but a bedroom in the three-storey building was gutted.
The rest of the house was severely affected by smoke damage and the family were moved to emergency accommodation.
Sub Officer Ivan Cranfield said; "The fire started in a second floor bedroom and was contained in that room to prevent it from spreading.
"The rest of the second floor suffered smoke damage and the rest of the property had smoke and water damage.
"We have carried out an investigation into the cause of the fire and have determined that it started accidentally."
