Cam Burgess signs on 15:32 - Jun 14 with 3062 views | theloneranger | "Swansea City is delighted to confirm the club has reached an agreement to sign Cameron Burgess, subject to international clearance. The 29-year-old defender will become a Swansea player on July 1, having agreed a three-year contract, with the club having faced considerable competition in securing his services. He becomes the fourth signing and fifth arrival of the summer to date, with Melker Widell, Zeidane Inoussa, Bobby Wales and Ricardo Santos already gearing up for their first seasons in Swans colours. A vastly-experienced and proven centre-half, Australia international Burgess has just helped the Socceroos secure their place at the 2026 World Cup finals. Born in Scotland, he was most recently at Ipswich Town, playing a key role in the Tractor Boys’ rise to the Premier League. Burgess made 18 top-flight appearances last season, having been a first-choice starter during their League One and Championship promotion campaigns. Burgess also started in both of the East Anglian club’s wins over the Swans during the 2023-24 season. Having moved to Australia from Scotland aged 11, Burgess returned to the UK with Fulham when aged 15 and went on to have spells with Ross County, Cheltenham Town, Oldham Athletic, Bury, Scunthorpe United, Salford City and Accrington Stanley before joining Ipswich in 2021. He has over 300 league appearances under his belt, made 120 appearances in all competitions for Ipswich and has won 17 caps for his country. Head coach Alan Sheehan said: “We are delighted that Cameron will be joining us at Swansea city. He is an experienced and consistent performer that has seen him rise up through the divisions in the last few years and become a full international. During our conversations Cameron really bought in to what we are trying to do at Swansea and I believe he will be a great addition for us on and off the pitch driving standards throughout the club, and we look forward to getting to work with him.” Director of football Richard Montague added: “We are very pleased to have been able to add a player of Cameron’s pedigree and experience to our squad ahead of the new season. “To bring in a player who has recently played Premier League football and been part of a successful period at his previous club is very positive. “There was considerable interest in Cameron from a number of clubs, and we are delighted he felt that Swansea City was the right choice for him.” Global head of analytics and recruitment, Adam Worth, said: “Moving into this summer we were aware of the need to try and ensure we complement the youthful element of our squad with players who are proven performers at this level. “Cameron undoubtedly meets that criteria, and arrives with us fresh from playing in the Premier League with Ipswich. “We are excited to see what he can bring to Swansea City in the coming season and the years ahead.” https://www.swanseacity.com/news/cameron-burgess-seals-swansea-city-move |  |

Imagine that whatever we offered Darling we've offered him instead. Can't say I know an awful lot about him but he's obviously a proven quantity at this level. |  |

Hell of a signing this. Experienced to the hilt too. If Darling DID stay we’d have an embarrassment of riches in defence. |  | |  |

Since the new team took over their entire recruitment has screamed statement of intent. We’ve endured some poor times since relegation but I’m feeling as optimistic as I ever have in 50 years watching the Swans. 🦢 |  | |  |

Cam Burgess signs on 16:30 - Jun 14 with 2490 views | Martyn | Looks like a FREE too. Ipswich had 1 yr extension they exercised last summer so freebie by the looks of it 16 apps and 2 subs in prem this season totalling 1500 mins and their 5th highest rated player with a rating of 6.62 and a pass completion % of 81 On the face of it looks like a cracking piece of work by the club |  | |  |

You’d think they were a huge club going on some of the comments. One about how we haven’t a pot to piss in from a Swansea based fan. He should know better! They spent one lousy season in the PL and did nothing. Who the F do they think they are😂😂 |  |

God they are going to be Luton all over again. Just because they went straight up they think they are huge 🤣 . They are not the surprise package they once were . Also their gaffer is favourite for the Brentford job . 🤣 perhaps this is why we got Cam. He is a great Darling replacement . Think if Harry thinks now I have got to stay look at the investment in the squad . The back 3 of Cabango , Darling and Cam Burgess 😮 🥰! Solid back line what do we need now lads? To finish this squad. I say a Lewis O Brian , Cover at lb/rb and a striker. |  |
