Watson joins 16:22 - Jun 26 with 2444 viewsdobjack2

Swansea City can confirm the appointment of Paul Watson as the club’s new sporting director.

Watson arrives in SA1 following a successful five-year spell at Luton Town, where he played a key role in player recruitment as the Bedfordshire club reached the Premier League.

He assumes responsibility for all football operations at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Watson will work closely with head coach Michael Duff and chairman Andy Coleman, together with head of football operations Josh Marsh, and will have particular focus on player recruitment.

He will have oversight of all football departments, including academy, sports science, medical and analysis, while he will also join the club’s senior management team.

“In any business, it is rare to find someone who is universally praised for their character and capabilities. Paul is one of those few people,” said Swansea City chairman Andy Coleman.

“He is an incredibly talented individual with tremendous football knowledge, and Swansea City needs football people making key football decisions.

“Paul’s arrival immediately strengthens the club, and I look forward to working with him and providing him with the resources to make a positive impact at Swansea City.”

After joining Luton in 2018 as general operations manager, he went on to be promoted to chief operating officer midway through the 2021-22 season.

During his time at Kenilworth Road, Watson proved a key figure behind the scenes as the Hatters climbed the Football League, culminating in their promotion to the Premier League back in May.

I just hope fans unite and don't put unrealstic expectations on the club.

There are always one or two but I get the impression we have a united fan base going forward.

We normally do until a player makes a couple of mistakes or we lose a few games, regretfully it's the way we role. Hopefully we will get a good start.

To be honest, all I see at the moment is positives.
All of a sudden we’ve got people who seem to know what their doing, whatever next !
The Good ship HMS Swansea City is in dry dock, having a refit, but is awaiting some new shipmates, to join the crew.
Meanwhile Captain Duff is getting them all into shipshape, to be ready and able, for when they set sail on his maiden voyage, into what could uncharted territory.
So God bless HMS Swansea City, and all who sail in her. Hip hip….
