Swansea City have signed defender Cyrus Christie on a deal until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old, who has been without a club since leaving Hull City at the end of last season, has been training with Swansea since early October.

Head coach Luke Williams regards the versatile Christie as someone who can cover any position across his defence.

Christie returns for a second spell at Swansea having played for the club on loan in 2021-22.

Christie played 23 Swansea games – and scored three goals – in the second half of 2021-22 after signing on loan from Fulham.

Then Swansea boss Russell Martin was interested in signing the Republic of Ireland international on a permanent deal, but Christie instead joined Hull City.

“There’s a lot that we like about Cyrus,” Williams said.

“[He is] a very accomplished player and he still has his power and his pace.”
