Galifuoco delighted to be given Swansea chance

Swansea City signing Giancarlo Galifuoco is excited about getting started with his new club.

The 20-year old Australian-born midfielder has signed a one-year deal with the Swans and is looking forward to developing his game under Garry Monk in south Wales.

"I'm very excited," he said. "It's the perfect club for me to take the next step in my career and I can't wait to get started.

"I had a brief chat with Garry Monk and he said that there are opportunities at this club if I work hard and that's what I intend to do.

"I was excited when I learned of the club's interest and it's a Premier League club that plays brilliant football and I'm delighted to be here."

The former Tottenham midfielder will link up with the Swans' U21 side where he will join fellow new recruit James Demetriou who he played alongside at junior level in Australia.
