4 trialists. Keep an eye out for Sammy this season.
Swansea City Under-21s continued their pre-season preparations with victory over newly promoted JD Cymru South side Briton Ferry Llansawel at Old Road.
Following a goalless first half, goals in the second period from Thomas Woodward and Sammy Henia-Kamau sealed the win for the development side.
Goalkeeper Ben Hughes got his first full game under his belt after suffering a knee injury over eight months ago, while midfielder Mitchell Bates skippered the Swans against his former club.
After an even start Henia-Kamau fashioned the first chance, but the forward hesitated before getting away a shot, allowing the keeper to advance and snuff out the danger.
At the other end, Hughes got down low to save a powerful shot before a Swans trialist struck an effort from long range that forced a one-handed save from Rhys Wilson in the Ferry goal.
Former Swans academy player Corey Hurford also tried his luck for the hosts, weaving his way into the penalty area before seeing a shot blocked by Harry Jones.
Hughes then tipped away an effort from Tom Price before the Swans broke the deadlock on the hour mark when 17-year-old Woodward finished from a cross to the far post.
Less than 10 minutes later, Henia-Kamau calmly guided the ball into the net after beating the keeper on the edge of the area.
Swansea City Under-21s: Ben Hughes, Trialist, Sebastian Dabrowski (Callum Deacon 45), Jacob Cook (Harlan Perry 60), Harry Jones (Iestyn Jones 45), Trialist, Trialist, Mitchell Bates (Josh Pescatore 60), Sammy Henia-Kamau, Glory Nzingo (Thomas Woodward 45), Trialist.

Seems he fancies a trip abroad, the Guardia Civil may come as a shock to him š
Donāt let anyone try and convince you the Swans didnāt explore him coming back, that they didnāt look at the sums and outlay, thatās just utter nonsense and untrue.
That would have earned the Swans around Ā£1.4m in a sell on agreement.
Looks like thereās more money incoming this summer. Plymouth rumoured to want 15m. Thatās almost 3m for the Swans if they get it.
This past years salary savings are very much improving on released players and sales from last August. Plus the simple arithmetic from this summers sales and incomings seeās the Swans in one million plus profit. We shouldnāt forget the few million tossed our way from Leeds in June as a part of the Piroe agreement.
Itās very clear to see the club are working on not next years P&S rules, that should be far healthier than this year, but the year after.
Iām suspicious, not a conspiracy nut, but world events that affect normal folk seem to be happening too often. Or at least the fallout seems to put them into focus.The govts of the world took advantage of the population to control them during the āpandemicā and this for me, has an odd feeling about it.
Not with the Newcastle squad on their a German training camp. Fourth pick for NUFC.
Could be available on a free / small money despite his contract still running.
Would you have him back ?
Harrison Ashby is fourth pick for @NUFC not in Germany with the squad, looking destined for a move. If heās released would you have him back ? #Swans#Geordiespic.twitter.com/Skn87nzDKf

Swansea City Under-21s kicked off their pre-season programme with a comfortable victory against JD Cymru South outfit Trefelin BGC at Ynys Park.
Three trialists were on the scoresheet, whilst Thomas Woodward and Josh Pescatore also grabbed a goal apiece.
The fixture was a farewell to Trefelin club legend Ceri Williams, who had made over 800 appearances for the Port Talbot side after 31 years of service to the club.
The young Swans were up against two former players, with club legend Lee Trundle and academy graduate and ex-Wales international Shaun MacDonald in the home ranks.
The Swans were three goals to the good at half-time, with two close-range goals from trialists, before Woodward - who netted 30 goals last term - slotted home following a slick pass from Ben Lloyd.
Lloyd could have had a couple of goals of his own, finding the net from an offside position before sending a curling strike just wide of the top corner in the first half.
The age-grade side made it 4-0 just minutes after the restart as a link-up between two trialists ended with a powerful finish from the edge of the area.
Coach Anthony Wright made 11 changes in the second period, consisting of a number of second-year scholars alongside Josh Thomas, Ben Hughes and Harry Jones.
The fifth goal came after a clever pass from Callum Deacon found Pescatore, who smashed a strike into the back of the net from distance.
The hosts pulled a goal back with a minute left of normal time, as they found the bottom corner from outside the box.
