He gave a great interview on Swans TV. Humble, motivated, sounds like a good signing. Extremely literate, intelligent. Let's give him time to settle. Welcome YJB!!

Just watched his interview on SwansTV. He speaks very well, very humble and excited to be here. Certainly has the potential to become a fan favourite. Also a devoted Christian, so If things are going wrong, he can pray to god to help us out I expect him to play on Saturday, let’s hope he gets off to a good start, that’ll do his confidence the world of good, good luck Nath.
