Was he released or did he choose not to sign? Tivvy’s twitter says Swansea have paid an undisclosed fee. As clubs who don’t have academies are not entitled to compensation this suggests City are entitled to something for his development. According to their website former City youth player Jack Stafford is still in their under 21 squad but, as far as I’m awar hasn’t played a single game for them this season.

Jack Stafford hasn't. To put things a bit into perspective about both him and Fanning there was also a bit of concern on here when Swansea snapped up Jack Stafford from Ireland/Waterford. Jack had seemed useful when with us at 16-18(but at 18 was up against Cheikh Diabate for a pro contract in central
defence and I think we made the right decision re Cheikh).

Jack Stafford signed an 18 month deal at Swansea which expires this summer. According to Soccerbase, as well as not playing in their first team, he isn't listed amongst the 31 players in their first team squad. So he may yet make it, but hasn't made the step up to league football yet.

When I said he hasn't played a game I was referring to their under 21 team.

Jack has been out injured thats why he hasn't really featured for Swansea so far this season.

James Dunne now at Welling United (National League South) played in their game at Weymouth yesterday. His ‘thunderous low strike’ hit an upright and came back for Ade Azeez to score. Despite this Weymouth won 2-1.

I used to like Dunny and Sercs in midfield.
Interestingly, Sercs, playing against us yesterday, is still cutting it in Lge 1 whilst Dunny is now in the National League South, albeit they are pretty much the same age, I believe.
