DONE DEAL: Swansea bring in McBurnie from Bradford

Swansea City have signed promising striker Oliver McBurnie from Bradford City.


The Swans have landed the Scotland U19 international on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

19-year-old McBurnie will slot straight into the Welsh club's U21 squad ahead of the new season after making 20 first-team appearances for the Bantams during his spell at Valley Parade.

McBurnie, who scored five goals in 14 appearances while on loan at Conference club Chester last season, told www.swanseacity.net: "I'm really excited about getting started. I've known about the interest for a little while now but it all got finalised pretty quickly and the hard work starts now.

"I'm thankful for everything that Bradford has done for me, but when a club like Swansea comes in for you then you can't say no."
