Davies Joins Kilmarnock On Loan
Goalkeeper Oliver Davies has joined Kilmarnock on loan until January as the Swans continue the work that sets up their squad for the new season both at first team and Under-21 level.
The 20 year old goalkeeper will head North of the border to try and get the experience of first team football behind him and remains highly rated by the Swans.
Kilmarnock manager Gary Locke said "Billy Thomson spotted Oliver and was immediately impressed by him. We were very grateful Swansea kindly agreed to loan us Oliver as it was important that Conor (Brennan) was able to stay out on loan to Stranraer, gaining first-team experience.
"Oliver coming in gives us cover for Jamie (MacDonald), and with Devlin (Mackay) doing well in the Development Squad we now have a good mix of experience at the club"
The young 'keeper has been a regular for the Swans U21 side and is likely to provide cover for Kilmarnock’s first-choice keeper Jamie MacDonald.
Davies said: "This is my first time in Scotland and I am really looking forward to training here and being a part of the Killie team."
"I have watched a lot of Scottish football and I know how competitive the Ladbrokes Premiership is. I know if I work hard I will gain good experience from my time here."

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.

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.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
