"Harrison is a good player. I know Newcastle have spent a lot of money, but Dan Ashworth (Newcastle sporting director) does not sign bad players," said Swansea boss Michael Duff.

"I also know Kieran Trippier really well. He was really positive in terms of the character reference he gave me. I was keen to get it done for Harrison to join me at my last club. We think he is a really good player and a powerful player.

"First and foremost he is a good defender, but one who can also get in the final third and deliver good crosses too. He wants to get out there, and play lots of games."
