- Swans snap up Abbott
Swansea City have signed Huddersfield Town striker Pawel Abbott in a £150,000 deal.
Town boss Peter Jackson confirmed he would listen to offers for Abbott earlier in the month with the former Poland Under-21 international out of contract at the Galpharm Stadium at the end of the current campaign.
The 24-year-old bagged 51 goals in 126 games for the Terriers, including a brace against Swansea in a 3-2 victory back in December.
"I enjoyed Huddersfield but the time was right to move for the betterment of my career," Abbott told Swansea's official website.
"I'm looking forward to playing with Lee Trundle or Adebayo Akinfenwa.
"There's going to be competition up front, that's what keeps people on their toes.
"It's a fantastic stadium and a great club, and I hope I can get them where they want to be - into the Championship."
