Ronald | I want to bring moments of excitement and joy for the Swansea City fans

New signing Ronald wants to provide moments of excitement and joy to the Jack Army after completing his move to Swansea City.

The 22-year-old winger has joined from Brazilian club Gremio Anapolis for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance and visa approval.

He has signed a contract through to the summer of 2027, with the option for an additional 12 months, and will wear the number 35 shirt for the Swans.

Ronald has spent the last 18 months on loan in Portugal with Estrela da Amadora, helping them secure promotion to the top-flight, where he has made 17 appearances so far this term.

He will bring pace and dynamism to head coach Luke Williams’ options in the final third, and the Brazilian is eager to make his mark in SA1 and gets fans out of their seats.

“I hope to bring moments of happiness, and help my teammates in all aspects of the game,” he said.

“I am a winger, I am very fast and good in one-to-one situations. I like to score goals and make assists. I like to attack high up the field, and I hope I can create difficulties for my opponents.

“I am very motivated, it is a dream to be here. I am very motivated and excited to try and provide moments of happiness for the fans of Swansea.

“It has been a dream of mine to play football in the UK. I have achieved that goal and objective and now I want to help the team achieve good things.”

Ronald has been impressed with the set-up and the facilities he has found in SA1, and believes he is ready to have an impact in the Championship on the back of his experience in Portugal.

“The structure of the club is very impressive, I have never been at a club like this, in Brazil or Portugal,” he said.

“I am very happy that the club has shown faith in me. I am just focusing on being happy here and trying to help the team.

“I feel ready. I grew up as a man and as a player during my 18 months in Portugal, so I am more mature and prepared for the higher level that the Championship is.

“I hope I can adapt as quickly as possible so I can help the team soon.”
