Swansea City midfielder Shaun MacDonald has joined League One side Yeovil Town on a three-month loan deal.

It will be the 21-year-old's second spell at Huish Park after a successful one-month loan stay last season which saw the local product score twice in four league starts.

The Welsh Under-21 international was looking forward to the return where he will link up again with Yeovil's former Swans midfielder Darren Way.

"I enjoyed my time at Yeovil last season,'' explained MacDonald who can be recalled by the Swans any time after the first month. "They looked after me well and I really enjoyed my football there.

"It's another chance for me to get some games under my belt. If I can chip in with a few goals along the way as well, it will be a bonus.

"At my age I need to be playing games and I would love to help Yeovil climb the table after all the support and faith they gave me last season when I was there.''

MacDonald signed his first professional contract for the Swans midway through the 2005-06 season after coming through the junior and youth ranks.

His footballing career started as a six year old with Blaenymaes Colts before moving through the local junior scene with West End and then St Josephs.

He was already an established member of the Swans Centre of Excellence set up after being spotted on one of the club's Football in the Community soccer courses when he was handed a full scholarship at 16.

He continued to impress and former manager Kenny Jackett saw enough to offer him a professional contract at just 17.

He made his full League debut as a 17-year-old against Gillingham in the 2006/07 season, accumulating 35 league and cup appearances for the Swans along the way, while also currently captaining the successful Welsh Under-21 squad.
