Liam Cullen has been a part of the Swansea City Academy since he was eight years old.

The forward scored 10 goals for the development side during the 2018-19 season - putting him joint-second on the Premier League 2 Division One charts.

Cullen, who was just 13 when he made his debut for the under-18s, also made his first-team bow against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup in August 2018.

The young striker stepped up to the senior environment on a full-time basis in early 2020 following a blistering start to the 2019-20 campaign with the under-23s.

Tenby-born Cullen netted 17 times in 21 appearances for the development side, including a hat-trick against Middlesbrough and all four goals in a thumping victory over Everton in the Premier League International Cup.

He made six first-team appearances during the 2019-20 season, scoring his first senior goal in the dramatic final-day win at Reading, as the Swans reached the play-offs.

He struck three times in 17 games the following season, which was disrupted by an ankle injury, as the Swans reached the play-off final.

The Wales Under-21 international’s efforts were rewarded in January 2021 with a new contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2024, with the option of an additional year. 

Cullen spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign on loan at Lincoln and, following a shoulder injury, went on to enjoy a breakthrough campaign at Championship level the next term as he scored nine goals and contributed two assists from 32 appearances for the Swans.
