Joel Piroe looking to build ahead of new season

Joel Piroe is looking forward to getting valuable game time under his belt when Swansea City face Forest Green Rovers at the New Lawn Stadium this evening (7pm).

The Swans travel to take on the League Two side on the back of wins over Newport and Plymouth so far during their pre-season campaign.

Piroe, having recently joined from PSV Eindhoven, got his first minutes in Swansea colours in the behind-closed-doors game at Newport and off the bench at Home Park last midweek.

“It was lovely to play again in midweek and to get to play in front of the fans for the first time,” he said.

“The people at the club and in the city have been very helpful to help me settle in

“Now I want to play as much as I can and have a good rhythm and understanding with my team-mates.

“It is a very important time for me, and I just want more and more.

“I want to be ready for the start of the season and ready to compete for this club.”
