From the Club’s website: Rory Fallon is relishing his new role coaching within Swansea City’s academy set-up. The former Swans striker returned to the club earlier this year to join the under-16 and under-15 set-ups, but he and his young players have had to bide their time due to restrictions caused by the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. However, the New Zealand international – who featured for his country at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa – has been able to get down to the task at hand in recent weeks, and is delighted to be back in South Wales. “It’s been great to be back. It was meant to start a lot earlier, I have only been in two weeks because of the Covid situation,” he said. “We were obviously meant to start at the beginning of the season, but we have had the lads in the last couple of weeks and that has been good. “They obviously have their Christmas break now and we will hope we can be back after that. It has been very difficult for everyone, not just the lads playing, but people in all walks of life. It’s been an unprecedented year. “Long-term the aim will be to try and help these players to try and make it to the first team, that has to be the goal. “If you look you can see this is a club that has had great success (in getting young players through to the first team) and I want to help with that.”
