Swansea City’s academy completed the signing of Mitchell Bates from Briton Ferry Llansawel, following a successful trial period.

Midfielder Bates, who previously had a stint on the books with the Swans, returned to the club’s ranks and will link up with the under-21 squad.

He has put pen to paper on a professional deal through to the end of June 2024, with the option of an additional 12 months.

Bates, 18, had broken into the Briton Ferry senior side this term after five years in their academy.
