Swansea City Academy complete signing of defender Zac Jeanes

Swansea City Academy have added defender Zac Jeanes to their ranks following a successful trial, subject to international clearance.

Jeanes puts pen to paper on a two-year deal with an option of an additional 12 months, keeping him at the club until at least June 2026.

The 18-year-old joins from Worthing FC following the expiration of his registration, after joining the club in July 2023. Jeanes had a previous stint at Horsham YMCA. 

He was a regular for the National League South's under-18' side, and featured on the bench for the first team on numerous occasions.

Head of academy recruitment Paul Compton said: "Zac had been brought to my attention whilst he was at Worthing. 

"I'm a firm believer that there is a lot of undiscovered talent in non-league football. I went to watch him play for Worthing Under-18s, and he did very well.

"When he came in on trial, he was everything about the way we play. He's got good ball management and likes to go forward.

"He's never been in the academy system, and I'm sure he'll be a great asset to Swansea City."
