Swansea City striker Morgan Bates has joined Scottish Championship outfit Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a season-long loan, subject to the relevant approval.

The 19-year-old makes the switch to the newly-promoted side, who won the Scottish League One title in May.

Bates finished the 2025-26 campaign as the under-21s’ topscorer with 23 goals in all competitions, one goal better than his previous record of 22 from the season before.

Swansea-born Bates joined the club in September 2024 from Briton Ferry Llansawel, where he linked up with his older brother, Mitchell.

Everyone at Swansea City wishes Morgan all the best on his loan spell.
