The Swans team was: Archie Matthews; Filip Lissah, Harry Jones, Ben Blythe (sub Kai Ludvigsen 46m); Abdul Abdulai (sub Tarrelle Whittaker 62m); Joe Thomas (sub trialist 83m), Dan Williams, Joel Cotterill (sub Sam Leverett 62m), …
Russel Martin reflects on his side’s 1-1 draw at Rotherham United in the Swans opening game of the 2022/23 Championship season. A stunning first half-half strike from Harry Darling ensured the Swans left south Yorkshire with a point, after Chiedozie Ogbene had given the Millers the lead after 16 minutes. Martin felt his side should …
Swansea City were backed by a large following in south Yorkshire as they kicked off their EFL Championship season at Rotherham United this afternoon. 1,492 Swansea fans made the 446 mile round trip to the AESSEAL New York Stadium to cheer on Russell Martin’s men. The Jack Army were in fine voice before kick-off as …
A demanding and often feisty workout for the U21 against a determined Briton Ferry Llansawel of Cymru South – and in front of a very decent and appreciative crowd at Old Road. We lined up in a familiar style: Remi Mitchell; Kai Ludvigsen, Fillip Lissah and Ben Blythe as a back 3; Azeem Abdulai pulling …

Almost 400 of the Jack Army travelled to south-east London to watch the Swans round off their pre-season preparation with a 2-1 win over League One Charlton Athletic at the Valley. The game couldn’t have got off to a worse start for the Swans, after a calamitous own goal from Harry Darling, who under pressure …
The Swans played the last of their behind closed doors friendlies at Fairwood this weekend when they took on Joey Barton’s Bristol Rovers at Fairwood.
