Defender Alan Tate was signed on loan by Brian Flynn in 2002 and he also played a major part in helping the Swans stay in the league in the 2002/03 season. Tate then came back to South Wales a season later and eventually signed permanently.

Tate was then in and out on the team in Jackett's first season as manager, he looked on his way out but the ex-Man Utd trainee proved many people wrong and was voted as Player of the Year by Swans fans last season. He hardly put a foot wrong in his new position at right back.

'Beaker' can also fill in at the centre of midfield and the centre of defence, Tatey has also played in goal! He will be looking to put that crucial penalty miss in the Play Off Final behind him for the coming season as the Swans look to push on in League One.

He will serve a ban for the first match of the season against Cheltenham due to the 'Flag incident' after the Football League Trophy Final in April.

Annual accounts show that the club will have to sell players if we don't go up
The club released the annual accounts for the 2022/3 season this week, and despite the headline figure of an overall loss of £33.7 million, we’re not in danger of any points deduction for now. But the accumulated losses mean that player sales will be inevitable in the summer if we remain in the Championship.

Stuart Dallas thanks the fans as tributes pour in
Stuart Dallas battled hard for two years to return to the game after his serious injury, but has now had to accept that he can no longer get back to the level of fitness needed to play the game at the top level. Club Chairman Paraag Marathe led the tributes, and the player has sent an emotional open letter to all the Leeds United fans.
