Lewis O'Brien joins Swansea City on loan

Swansea City is pleased to confirm the signing of Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest on a loan deal for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, subject to international clearance.

Midfielder O’Brien will bring considerable experience to head coach Luke Williams’ squad, including nearly 150 Championship appearances.

The 26-year-old came through the ranks at Huddersfield Town, where he made 123 appearances and scored eight goals; helping them reach the Championship play-off final in 2022.

He then joined Nottingham Forest and made 13 Premier League appearances before making loan moves to DC United, Middlesbrough and Los Angeles FC; racking up another 23 Championship outings for Boro.

"Lewis brings a lot of experience and he is a really competitive guy," said Swans boss Williams.

"He is a player who understands the rigours of the Championship, he is very, very motivated and he has real quality.

"He can take the ball, is a good passer, he knows how to attack the box correctly and he will compete for every ball. 

"The players we have are giving everything, but to bring in a player who is fresh and has great experience and a real competitive edge will give everyone a boost.

"He is a great character and I am sure the fans are going to love getting to know him."
