‘Pathetic’, ‘Madness’ – Swansea City Fans React To Attacker’s Imps Switch

As you know, Jordon Garrick has today signed for the Imps on a season-long loan deal.

The 24-year-old played much of last season at Plymouth Argyle as a striker, but he is also a right-sided winger, which fills a hole we have in our squad. With one year left on his contract it seems his Swansea City time is coming to an end, although it has been suggested the Swans have a year option in his current deal, just in case he does do well.

Garrick has appeared in the Championship for Swansea, as well as playing for Swindon (against the Imps) in 2020/21. He scored against us in the opening minutes of our 2-2 draw with them back in February 2021, striking a nice half-volley past Alex Palmer whilst standing in acres of space. Last season, the attacker scored a brace for Plymouth as they beat Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup, got the opener as they knocked out Rochdale, and started their two big ties; a 1-0 win at Birmingham and a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea. It was widely believed he’d be a part of the Swansea set-up this season after impressing in League One, but that’s not the case.

It’s fair to say Swansea fans are not entirely happy about it either. They’re without a win in two matches, having been soundly beaten by Blackburn 3-0 at home this weekend, and their fans feel they need some attacking players, not least on the right-hand side of the field. That’s exactly where the former rugby league player is expected to feature for us, and it appears a couple of their supporters think they should have kept Garrick rather than let him move to City.

Hopefully, judging by some of their reaction, their loss is our gain. Here’s some of their feedback from Twitter.
