Swans In Double Swoop

Both players have been long term targets of the club and always looked likely to sign - Scotland attracted interest from elsewhere whilst Collins was training with the Swans at the back end of last season.

The signing of Scotland is still subject to the granting of a work permit with the club currently awaiting a hearing date having submitted their application.

"I'm delighted to be able to secure a player of Jason's calibre,'' cRoberto Martinez told the official site

"Goalscorers are the most precious commodity in football and I believe we've persuaded a quality striker to join us.

"He is a striker with all-round ability which will enable him to play in a number of roles that give us different options.

"He has a magic touch and can make something happen out of nothing. He's an exciting player who always entertains and attracts the crowds - and players like that are a rare breed.

"I'm not surprised that there has been a lot of interest in him from a number of clubs, especially as he was due to becomea free agent in August.

"It's also a bonus that he knows the British football scene having spent four successful years playing in Scotland.''

And, just like buses, with proof that they never come around alone, a second signing was confirmed on Friday with the club announcing "

The club is pleased to announce that they have agreed terms with Fulham for the signature of Welsh-born Matthew Collins.

"Matthew will sign for the Swans on 1st July, when his current deal at Craven Cottage expires.

"Matthew has represented Wales at Under 17 and Under 19 level and was taken from his hometown of Merthyr by Swindon Town.

"His displays in their youth ranks caught the eye of Fulham who quickly snapped him up, adding him to their own youth set up."
