Bulls Striker joins Swansea City : Super scout Malcolm Elias strikes again !
Exciting Combined Counties League Premier Division South striker Samuel Henia Kamau has agreed to join Swansea City from Jersey Bulls. Sam has been watched by numerous Championship clubs but it’s the Swans who acted first to sign the Bulls front man.
(Extract) The forward was handed a trial with Fulham FC after long-serving scout Malcolm Elias, who has built strong relationship with the JFA, brought Henia-Kamau over for a trial at the West-London outfit. While performing well, no formal offer was made by the Premiership club, given the strength in depth at his position. Instead, Elias contacted Swansea City, who were impressed enough to offer a contract to the islander. The Jersey FA has regularly spoken of the importance in providing local players with a pathway into the professional ranks, and Henia-Kamau’s offer from Swansea City shows that the Jersey production line is thriving. (Jersey Evening Post )
Henia-Kamau will enter Swansea’s academy initially as a second-year scholar, with the second year as a full professional.
The 17-year-old said: "I’m honestly delighted to be given this opportunity. I want to thank all the people within the teams I have played for. All of my teammates — they’ve all contributed to this opportunity, which I am delighted to have and I am really looking forward to. A lot of thanks have to also go to the coaches at the JFA Performance Centre, which I had seven great years playing in. Playing alongside the best players in the Island has enabled me to get to the level that I am now”
Sam is expected to sign formal terms this week at the Swansea.Com stadium.

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.
