Club connections | Birmingham City
As Swansea City get set to take on Birmingham City, we take a look back at some notable figures to have worn the colours of both clubs.
John Cornforth
Popular midfielder John Cornforth captained the Swans to their 1994 Autoglass Trophy success, becoming the first player to lead a Swansea side out at Wembley.
He made just shy of 150 league appearances for the Swans between 1991 and 1996, while also earning a pair of Wales caps.
Cornforth came through the professional ranks at Sunderland, playing a part in their rise to the top flight before joining Swansea in August 1991.
He helped the club reach the Second Division play-offs in 1992-93 and netted 16 goals in 149 league outings before joining Birmingham City in March 1996.
Jason Bowen
Hailing from Merthyr, Jason Bowen began his career at Swansea City before making his professional debut during the 1990-91 season under manager Terry Yorath.
The winger went on to make 124 league appearances, scoring 26 goals in five seasons at the Vetch, and helped the club win the 1994 Football League Trophy.
His standout season with the Swans came during the 1993-94 campaign, when he finished as the club's top scorer with 17 goals. Those performances would later earn him his first Wales senior cap later that season against Estonia.
Bowen joined Birmingham City in July 1995, where he spent three seasons at St Andrew's, including a short loan spell with Southampton in the Premier League.
Scott Sinclair
Scott Sinclair enjoyed a successful spell at Swansea City after arriving in south Wales from Chelsea in 2010, having previously spent time on loan at Birmingham City.
The winger quickly established himself as an influential figure in Brendan Rodgers' side, scoring 27 goals in all competitions during his first season as the club secured promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.
Sinclair famously netted a hat-trick, including two penalties, in the memorable 4-2 final victory over Reading at Wembley.
He would go on to add eight Premier League goals in Swansea's debut top-flight campaign, finishing his time at the club with 36 goals in 82 appearances.
Kemy Agustien
Kemy Agustien is another player to have represented both Swansea City and Birmingham City during his career.
The midfielder first arrived in England with Birmingham, joining on loan from AZ Alkmaar in 2008. He made 18 Championship appearances for the Blues before returning to his homeland.
Agustien later joined Swansea City in 2010, featuring 16 times during the promotion-winning 2010-11 season.
He would go on to make 39 appearances in total for Swansea, including featuring in their first season in the Premier League, before later departing for Brighton & Hove Albion in July 2013.
Jefferson Montero
Jefferson Montero is one of the more recent players to have represented both clubs, enjoying a spell with the Swans during their time in the Premier League.
The pacy winger joined Swansea in the summer of 2014, bringing valuable experience from playing in Europe's top leagues.
He made his competitive debut as a substitute for Nathan Dyer in a 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, before going on to make 84 appearances for the Swans, scoring four goals.
During his time in SA1, Montero also spent a spell on loan at Birmingham City during the 2019-20 season.
