Swansea City Under-21s' midfielder Mitchell Bates has joined Briton Ferry Llansawel on loan for the rest of the 2025-26 season.
The move sees Bates return to the club where he spent five seasons, and where he made his breakthrough in senior football.
Bates - who spent the second half of last term on loan at Truro City - returned to the Swans from Briton Ferry in February 2023 after a successful trial.
He led the under-21s to great effect over the first part of last season, and this loan move will give him the chance to get more men's football under his belt in the Cymru Premier.
We wish Mitchell well during his time with the the Ferry.
