🌟 Swansea City fans, get ready to welcome a new face to the squad! Joel Ward, the seasoned pro, has just signed with the Swans and could make his debut this weekend against West Brom in the FA Cup! 🦢⚽
At 36, Ward is eager to open a new chapter in South Wales, bringing experience and determination to the team.

Ward said, “Everyone just said I’d love it here. It’s a great club and a great place to be. From day one, I could see it’s a well-run club with an opportunity to really push forward.”
Manager Vitor Matos also impressed him with a clear vision for Swansea’s future. Joel is excited about learning from Matos and contributing to the team.
