Newcastle fullback Harrison Ashby explains Swansea move

Newcastle fullback Harrison Ashby is happy with his move to Swansea City.

Ashby has joined the Swans on a season-long loan.

Ashby said: "It's a massive opportunity for me, so to finally be here after a good trip in the US is great. I'm feeling fit and ready and I'm ready to go at it. The facilities are top here so it can't get much better. "I'm a right-back or full-back. I can play left-back, which I know some people will be happy to hear!

"I'm feel I'm very attacking. Scoring goals is what everyone wants to do in football and since a young age, I've always wanted to score goals. I started off as a number 10, so scoring goals and assisting is something that I want to do. I want to bring that to my game here.

"The Championship is one of the biggest leagues in the world so this is a massive step in my career. If I can bring some glory to Swansea at the same time, then that's a perfect match."
