Signerte toårskontrakt med Pompey

18 år gamle Reuben Swann er klar for Pompey. Midtbanespilleren kommer fra AFC Sudbury.

NYHETER: Den unge midtbanespilleren kommer fra AFC Sudbury for et ikke offentliggjort beløp. Han har skrevet under på en toårskontrakt med Pompey. Pompey har i tillegg sikret seg opsjon på ytterligere ett år.

Swann gikk gradene i Colchester før han gikk til Sudbury for to år siden. Etter å ha imponert for Sudburys akademi, fikk han sjansen på førstelaget og imponerte også der. I fjor trente han med Pompey og det han viste der kombinert med hans fjorårssesong, var nok til at Pompey valgte å kjøpe ham i sommer.

Hovedtrener John Mousinhos kommentarer til overgangen

«Reuben’s an exciting young prospect, who came down to train with us before Christmas last season. It allowed us to have a close look at him and he really impressed us, while he’s also done well for Sudbury.

He’s an all-action central midfielder with a maturity beyond his years, so we’re really looking forward to seeing how he does in pre-season.»

 

Reuben Swanns kommentarer til overgangen

«It’s a proud moment for me – and my family – to sign my first professional contract with Pompey. I’m happy to get things over the line and now I’m excited to start training with the rest of the team soon. The manager told me that this club is moving in the right direction and I’m just so thankful to be here.

I’m grateful to the coaches and my team-mates at Sudbury and now this is a big step up for me – but I’m confident I can meet the demands. This is everything I’ve worked hard for since I was kid and so I’m fully focused on what’s to come for me.

I like to attack, but can play anywhere in midfield. I want to keep developing my game and improving as a footballer, which I believe I can do here.»
