Beattie Happy To Be At Swansea
Craig Beattie was a happy man as he finalised his move to Swansea on Friday
Beattie has joined the Swans in a club record fee from West Brom - a fee which could rise as high as £800,000.
As he spoke to the official site upon completing the move he revealed that he has no hesitation in joining the club as soon as he heard about the interest yesterday.
He said "The move happened quite quickly but I am absolutely delighted to be here
"I was playing in the League Cup against Rotherham only Tuesday and then found out about Swansea's interest yesterday but had no hesitation to joining.
"I was desperate for it to go through, Swansea are one of the best football teams around and now that it has I'm delighted.
"The boys gave me a good welcome and I'm looking forward to playing with them," he added.
"It was also nice to see Stephen Dobbie - I used to play against him when we were younger. He's a good lad and it's nice to be able to hear another Scottish accent around the place!
"But now I'm looking forward to getting my head down, get going and score some goals."

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
