Van Der Gun Puts Pen To Paper

Dutch winger Cedric van der Gun has finally put pen to paper at the Liberty Stadium

The former Utrecht player, who scored 11 times last season, has signed an initial 12 month deal with an option to extend it a further year.

He passed a medical earlier today and completed the necessary paperwork which sees him become Paulo Sousa's 6th signing since he arrived at the club in June.

Van der Gun started his career at FC Den Bosch, before moving to Ajax where he was tipped for the top with some impressive displays, scoring 9 times in 35 appearances.

Injuries have blighted his career but he still managed to impress at ADO Den Haag, where he played alongside Dorus de Vries and Ferrie Bodde, scoring 12 in 58 matches.

He is eligible to feature against Preston North End on Saturday, although it's unlikely considering the 30 year old's lack of match practice.

Welcome to Swansea, Cedric!
