THE CYGNETS SET TO FLY HIGH

Name: Joe Rodon From : Morriston, Swansea Age: 18 Position: Centre-back Background: Joined the club in 2005 as a eightyear-old and is a former season ticket holder who says his ambition is to play for his club in the Premier League. Still only a second-year scholar, the ball-playing centreback has impressed since stepping up into the Under-21s and has also trained with the first-team and was named on the bench in the FA Cup third round game against Oxford. Name: Daniel James From: Hull Age: 18 Position: Winger Background: Signed from Hull City’s academy in 2014 having been with the Tigers from the age of eight. Qualifies for Wales through his father from Aberdare and another who has excelled in an older age group with superb pace and confidence. Cost Swansea £72,000 in compensation and will cost a further reported £150,000 if he makes ten Premier League appearances. Name: Adam King From: Edinburgh Age: 20 Position: Midfield Background: Signed from Hearts for £200,000 two years ago with high hopes of his ability to thrive in a Swansea midfield. Appeared off the bench in the FA Cup last year and – having already made his senior bow with Hearts, made 26 appearances for Crewe this year where his five goals highlighted his willingness to add himself to attacks on top of his intelligent and comfortable possession game. Name: Stephen Kingsley From: Stirling Age: 21 Position: Left-back Background: Made almost 100 senior appearances before arriving from Falkirk alongside Jay Fulton. Given chance in daunting surroundings against Arsenal but caught the eye with a nerveless showing in the Emirates win.
