Matty Collins

The 23-year-old signed for the Swans on a free transfer in the summer from Premiership Fulham on a two-year deal.

The Welsh-born defender or midfielder has represented
Wales at Under-17, 19 and Under-21 level after moving from his home-town club Merthyr to Swindon Town.

His displays in their youth ranks caught the eye of Fulham who quickly snapped him up, adding him to their own youth set up. A regular in the Reserves, Matty trained with the Swans last season where he impressed manager
Roberto Martinez.

His only first-team appearance for the Swans came at Newport County in the FAW Premier Cup but in November 2007 he moved to north Wales and played three times on loan at Wrexham.

But he was handed a chance in the Championship at right-back in the absence of Angel Rangel and played the first two games of the campaign against Charlton and Nottingham Forest.

He also featured in the Carling Cup against Hull but injury kept him out for a large part of the season. His only other appearance came in the home defeat against Crystal Palace in March, coming on at half-time and almost gave his side the lead only to his the post.
