King On Loan At Crewe
Adam King has joined Crewe on loan until January as the Swans want him to experience first team football.
King, who joined the Swans from Heart of Midlothian in January last year made his first team debut for the Swans in last season's 6-2 win over Tranmere in the FA Cup.
The 19-year old Scotland Youth International has also represented his country at Under-21 level and is highly regarded at the Swans.
Crewe are being linked with plenty of Swansea connections this summer with Alan Tate and David Cornell both reported to be joining them following their release from the Swans at the end of last season
Speaking on completing the loan, King told the official Crewe website "It was a perfect opportunity for me and once I heard of Crewe’s interest then I jumped at the chance. I want to come here and do my best for the team.
"It will be a great experience for me and I can’t wait to get into the training and play some pre-season games. It is a massive step from development football but one I am really looking forward to and I just want to get started.
"I have only heard good things about Crewe, the people who work here, the fans and how they give young players a chance.
"I am here to work hard and try to get into the team. My main objective is to play is to get games under my belt and help the team be where they want to be. I am ready for the challenge and competing for a place is part of the game.”

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.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week.

Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
