Newcastle goalkeeper Woodman excited with Swansea return

Swansea City have signed Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman on a second season-long loan deal.

Woodman has been allowed to return to Wales after agreeing a new three-year contract at Newcastle.

The 23-year-old was one of Swansea's star performers last season after arriving on loan in August 2019.

"I am delighted it has been sorted, I feel like I really connected with the club last season," Woodman told Swansea's website.

"I feel like I have unfinished business with Swansea, so for everything to be done in time to go back for the start of pre-season training is massive and I cannot wait to get back.

"I've felt that connection with the supporters, they were so good to me when I joined and throughout last season.

"I want to thank them for that, and I will do my very best for them again this season."
