Swansea City have snapped up released Wolves striker Jaden Forrester.

Going into the summer without a professional contract and his scholarship coming to an end, it was up to Wolves' strategic player marketing manager Matt Jackson and a team of staff at the Academy to find the best possible move for the 18-year-old.

“In the past, Jaden might have been let go and would've had to find his own path back into football," Jackson explained to the Woves website, “but now, there's a support network in place for all of our players.

“Unfortunately, not all players can make it with their first club, but we owe it to our players, especially those like Jaden who have spent more than a decade at Wolves, to move them on in a way that is best for everyone involved.

“We arranged a trial for Jaden at Swansea, we supported him through that process, and Swansea also looked after him really well. It's that sort of co-operation we feel is going to be a big part of a player's development who isn't necessarily going all the way up to the Wolves first-team."
