York City's former veteran striker John Willams has embarked upon his third spell with Third Division Swansea City after joining on a Bosman free transfer from Darlington.

The 33-year-old began his professional career at the Vetch ten years ago before moving on to Coventry where he spent a loan spell with the Swans.

Williams' signing on a two-year deal is to compensate for the imminent departure of Giovanni Savarese, and Swansea managing director Mike Lewis is delighted with the return of one of the club's favourite sons.
