Cameron Congreve feeling confident after successful loan spell

Cameron Congreve hopes the confidence and learning he took from a positive loan spell with Bromley can help him make an impression when Swansea City report for pre-season training.

The 21-year-old has returned to SA1 following the conclusion of his time at League Two Bromley, where he netted six goals in 47 senior appearances, also contributing seven assists.

 Among those goals was a stunning individual effort against Premier League Newcastle in the Emirates FA Cup at St James' Park.

"It was amazing. The lads were quality, the gaffer and the staff were quality from day one. They welcomed me with open arms, and I loved my time there," said Congreve, who has been with the Swans since under-nine level, and came through the ranks to make his senior debut away at Blackpool in March 2022.

"I'm glad I could contribute. We probably fell a bit short at the end, and we could have pushed for play-offs, but it was a solid first full season in the EFL.

"Consistency is really important, and that's what every player wants. When you can keep building up the minutes, the performances week-in, week-out, it's important.

"I probably had a bit of a stop-start period in my career, but hopefully now I can continue the momentum and consistency of playing continuously.

"We had quite a nice blend of more senior lads and younger lads. The senior lads really did help in the changing room.

"The Newcastle goal was amazing, I didn't know I scored at first, the celebrations were nuts, it was an amazing feeling."

While he was on loan, the Swans took up the option to extend Congreve’s contract through to the end of June 2026, and the Welsh youth international is hoping to make the most of pre-season before the start of the 2025-26 Championship campaign.

"I think pre-season is massive for me. Coming back after being on loan, you want to show everyone what you've learnt, and show the gaffer and the staff the experience I've gained," he added.

"I want to get myself into the squad for the first game of the season, and I would love to contribute goals and assists, and hopefully, this pre-season can help massively."
