Palmer played the full 90 minutes on his debut against Grimsby

Dagenham & Redbridge boss John Still has hailed the efforts of Aiden Palmer.

The 22-year-old left-back joined the League Two club on Tuesday on a one-month loan from Leyton Orient as cover for the injured Scott Griffiths.

He was rushed straight into the Daggers line-up against Grimsby that night and immediately impressed his boss.

"He came in and did fantastic, he didn't really know anyone, didn't know how we play and came in and did a good job for us," said Still.

"Now we can do a bit of work with him for a few days.

"He's a young lad at Leyton Orient and has played quite a few first-team games and I felt he could give us something, as Scott's going to be out three or maybe four weeks," Still added.

Palmer joined the O's as a trainee in 2004 and has played over 50 times for the League One outfit.
