Juan Palma

Charleston Battery

Palma was signed by the Battery on 27 December 2022. Palma's first season in Charleston developed into a highly successful one as the Colombian continued to improve as the year went on. The center-back turned into a regular starter in the Battery's run to the USL Championship Final, forming a formidable partnership with Leland Archer in the center of the defense. In his first season in the United States, Palma recorded 95 clearances, 14 blocks, 27 interceptions, 87 duels won and one goal across 25 matches in league play (regular season and playoffs). He additionally featured in the Battery's three 2023 U.S. Open Cup matches. Palma was honored with a selection to the Week 20 USLC Team of the Week. In May 2025, Palma joined USL League One side Westchester SC. On 10 January 2026, Palma moved back to his home country and signed for Boyacá Chicó.
