Michel Vorm delighted with Swansea choice

Michel Vorm is delighted with his decision to join Swansea City.

Vorm landed in South Wales earlier this year after countryman Dorus de Vries quit the Championship play-off winners to join Wolves. And he has only let in two goals in six home games.

He said: "When I was 13, I had a chance to sign for Ajax. But I was approached by my home-town team Utrecht.

"I thought I'd a better chance there so I signed. I worked hard and was first choice at 21. After seven years I'm here."

Swans boss Brendan Rodgers said: "We needed a keeper who was comfortable with the ball at his feet.

"We like to start from the back, so he has to also be a good footballer."
