Swansea City boss Kenny Jackett is delighted to have wrapped up the permanent signing of loan star Marcos Painter from Birmingham City.

The 20-year-old left-back has made nine appearances for the Swans since his arrival from the Blues and has now completed a switch that could eventually cost the Swans £75,000.

Jackett told the South Wales Echo: "He had a couple of niggling injuries since he joined us which has made things a bit stop-start, but Marcos has looked good.

"When you consider that he is only 20, there is potential for the future and hopefully he will go on and get better with us.

"I really like his attitude and I think he will be a good addition in terms of focus and team spirit."
