Swansea City Connor Roberts Bristol Rovers

Swansea City defender Connor Roberts has joined League One side Bristol Rovers on a six-month loan deal, subject to international clearance.

The move will keep the 20-year-old full-back at the Memorial Stadium until January 2017.

Roberts, a Welsh Under-21 international, played 45 games in the Football League whilst on loan with League Two side Yeovil Town last season.

This season the Neath-born defender has helped Swansea City Under-23 squad to two wins in Premier League 2 over WBA and Wolves.

Roberts is the tenth Swans player to go out on loan this summer, following Bafe Gomis (Marseille), Kyle Bartley, Matt Grimes (both Leeds), Ryan Hedges, Liam Shephard (both Yeovil), Josh Vickers (Barnet), Oliver Davies (Kilmarnock), Kenji Gorre (Northampton) and Adam King (Southend) in clinching temporary moves.
