Swansea City News, Match Reports & Academy
Coming off the back of last weekend’s 4-1 age grade cup win against the same opponents at Leckwith, today’s victory over our South Wales rivals was deserved and hard earned. On a sunny day wintry at Landore, the line-up was a familiar 4-3-3. Jon Beale, who was previously at the academy before moving off to …
The 37-year-old joins the Swans from Portuguese side Marítimo on a contract running until the summer of 2029, and he will take charge of his first match on Tuesday night when Derby County visit the Swansea.com stadium. Matos was the club’s standout choice after a focused but thorough recruitment process. He impressed with a clear …
With a number of players back from recent international duties, we fielded an attacking line-up for this Development League Cup tie with Millwall. Carter Heywood, fresh from captaining Wales U17s, came into the back four and there was no Arthur Parker this evening, the feeling being that he might be getting called into the first …
Swansea City have confirmed the departure of head coach Alan Sheehan following a disappointing start to the Championship season. The 39-year-old Irishman, who was appointed on a permanent basis in April, leaves the club after overseeing just four league wins from the opening 15 matches of the current campaign – the Swans’ lowest return since …
This was a hard-earned victory at Landore against a Charlton Athletic side that was top of the Division 2 South table and unbeaten since August. It was also the U21s first home game since September. We fielded a strong-looking side, set up as 4-2-3-1: Evan Anderson; Sam Parker (s – Ramon Rees-Siso 59m), Arthur …
In the first home game in over a month, our U18s achieved a special victory today against near neighbours Bristol City. The last match here was a comprehensive 4-7 defeat to Bournemouth, so today’s outcome will taste especially sweet. We lined up initially 4-3-3 but varied the formation during the game, particularly when the visitors …
A cracking cup display and scalp for our U21 earlier today against Cat1 Brighton. The 3-1 win was thoroughly deserved and against an opposition that contributed fully to a match played at ferocious pace throughout. Brighton deployed an aggressive 4-2-4 formation, with 2 tricky wingers causing problems. It looked as though we’d done our homework, …
For many Swansea City supporters, the name Ivor Allchurch still brings a sense of pride and admiration. Known as the “Golden Boy of Welsh football”, Ivor is widely regarded as the greatest player ever to wear the Swans shirt, and one of the finest to have represented Wales. Now, his remarkable story is being told …
4-1 sounds like a convincing victory and it probably was in the end, but our U21s didn’t have everything their own way earlier in ths contest. Coach Anthony Wright had the comparative luxury of being able to select players from the fringes of the first team squad in the form of returning Ricardo Santos, plus …
The Swans kicked off this season’s U17s PL cup competition with an encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Landore. With the exception of goalkeeper Jakub Nowak, all of the Swans’ starting XI featured at some stage on the previous Saturday’s U18 match with Wigan Athletic. Coach Joe Roberts selected an interesting set-up. Although it was very …
