Swansea City have signed centre-back Harry Darling on a three-year deal from MK Dons.
The 22-year-old had been a key target for Swansea head coach Russell Martin since he took charge in August 2021.
Martin signed Darling during his spell as MK Dons boss with the player making 72 appearances, scoring 10 goals, since joining the Dons in January 2021.
Darling enjoys Martin's possession-based style, saying: "I personally think it's the best way to play."
He added: "I was with him at my last club and we've stayed in contact.
"I love working with him and it's such a big club. I've heard really good things about it so those were the two reasons I want to come here.
"I know the way the manager plays so it was just a case of getting the deal over the line - I just can't wait to get started."
He added: "Although I'm a ball playing centre-back, my first job is to keep clean sheets, defend well and do that for the team. If I can do that bit first, then goals are just added extras."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
