Youth career
George Swan joined Wolves in September 2014, a few days before his twentieth birthday. He is the son of Peter Swan, who played for Leeds United, Hull City and Port Vale, also mainly as a central defender but sometimes as a forward. Wolves were rumoured to be after the father in the early nineties; now they're trying the son.
Swan had moved from Leeds United to Manchester City at fourteen. City rated him highly but a string of bad injuries (a cruciate knee ligament operation, a lateral knee ligament operation, a broken leg and an impingement in his hip) wrecked his career before it got started. During the 2013-14 season he was loaned out twice, then he was released by City in the Summer of 2014, and had a trial back at Leeds. Wolves' new U21 coach Scott Sellars recommended Wolves sign him and so he was offered a short contract to make his case for something more permanent. He was an ever-present at the U21 level up to the Christmas break, starting every game apart from the U21 PLC match against Villa, where he came on as a sub, but missed the first U21 PL game of 2015. He has yet to play first-team football for any of his clubs.
