The Swans have confirmed another summer signing - this time of young striker Oliver McBurnie from Bradford City on a three year contract.

McBurnie will join up with the club's Under-21 squad for the new season and face the likes of Arsenal and Aston Villa which will be brilliant for his development.

The striker made 20 appearances for the Bantams and scored 5 times in 14 appearances whilst on loan at Chester last season and two years ago he also spent time on 'work experience' with Manchester United.

"
I'm really excited about getting started," he said. "I've known about the interest for a little while now but it all got finalised pretty quickly and the hard work starts now.

"I'm thankful for everything that Bradford has done for me, but when a club like Swansea comes in for you then you can't say no.

"It's the perfect opportunity for me and the right time to sign. Hopefully I can have a good start for the Under-21s and continue to learn and develop during my time here.

"Swansea are now playing Category One games and they are the best fixtures in the country. You want to challenge yourself against the best players and I'm really looking forward to getting started."

Welcome to Swansea Oliver lets hope it is a long and fruitful stay
