    Scottish centre-back Blair McKenzie has joined Swansea City academy, subject to international clearance.

    The deal sees the youngster sign terms through to June 2027 following a successful trial period, and he will link up with the under-21s' squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

    The 19-year-old defender, who joined Aberdeen from Edinburgh side Hutchison Vale FC in 2021, has made nearly 50 senior appearances across two loan periods in the Scottish Football League.

    He got his first goal at senior level last season, scoring for Montrose in their Scottish League One clash against Dumbarton.

    Standing at 6ft 5in, the Scotsman offers a threat in the air and versatility as a left-sided centre-half.

    Head of Academy recruitment Paul Compton said: "Blair being a left-sided centre-back is a big bonus as this is a position that is very difficult to fill.

    "From day one of his trial Blair fitted in really well with the under-21s' team and impressed the coaches, he is a great profile, and it was good to see him defend and head the ball with passion.

    "Blair has good potential and I am looking forward to seeing his game develop over the coming seasons."

    Swansea City can confirm that academy manager Gavin Levey has left his role at the club.

    Levey joined the Swans in October 2023, and his tenure has seen several academy players handed their senior debuts, while 28 academy players have represented Wales in their respective age groups.

    Additionally, during the 2023-24 season, the under-21s reached the Professional Development League (PDL) play-offs and the under-18s were runners-up in the PDL Cup, while the under-17s were PDL Cup finalists during the recently-concluded 2024-25 campaign.

    The club would like to thank Gavin for his contribution to the academy during his time with Swansea City, and we wish him well for the future.

    He’s either going to Norwich or waiting to see if Russell McMartin wants him at Rangers.

    I’d withdraw our latest offer, thank him for his service and move on to sign someone who wants to play for the Swans <cheers>

    Mismanagement. We should have transfer listed him a year ago and recouped some of our money, not let him run down his contract and hold the club to ransom.

    While we wait for more additions to our squad in a positive frame of mind our neighbours up the road are still waiting for the new manager to be found and there are some big names being bandied about...Buckingham....Evatt....Murphy....Cleverly...
