SWANSEA CITY forward Liam Cullen has joined League One side Lincoln City on loan until the end of the season.
The Kilgetty-born player has played 43 times for Swansea but has only been involved 12 times this season.
In announcing his signing, Lincoln said they had beaten off competition from a number of other clubs.
Cullen will go straight into the squad for Saturday’s game at home against Cambridge United.
Speaking on his move Liam said: “The interest has been there for a while and once I was told that I was allowed to go out on loan I got up here as soon as I could.
“There were other clubs interested but none showed the desire that Lincoln did, which is why I’m here. I know the club and have some old friends here so was keen to come.
“The reputation the club has for developing players is brilliant. They are a young team who like to play football; a style of play that will suit me really well and hopefully I can hit the ground running.
“I’m really excited. I’ve heard a lot about the fans, especially the 617 Squadron in the corner, so I’m looking to getting out there in front of them.”
Liam joins Swansea team-mate Morgan Whittaker, who made the switch to Lincolnshire a week earlier and has featured in the wins over Oxford and Sunderland.
Imps manager Michael Appleton added: “Liam’s a great addition for us. He’s got good pedigree and has been a top target for us this January, but with a lot of competition we’ve had to work hard to ensure he came to us.”
