Swansea City have snapped up Watford midfielder George Byers.

The 20-year-old, who spent 13-years at Watford's Academy, has signed a two-year deal at the Liberty Stadium and will link-up with the club's Development squad ahead of the new season.

“It is a great opportunity for me, one which I am relishing. I can't wait to get started," he told the Swans website.

“I have come to a point in my career where I needed a change. I was at Watford for 13-years, now I am looking for that next step.

“Swansea's style of play was a big factor for me signing. Creativity is a big part of my game, I like to create chances but also do the hard work and battle in midfield to win the ball.

“There will be a lot of hard work for me from this point, I want to prove myself to people here and I am looking forward to getting started."
