Shrewsbury's Nathanael Ogbeta pens Swansea City deal
Shrewsbury Town left back Nathanael Ogbeta has left Montgomery Waters Meadow and signed for Championship side Swansea City on a permanent deal.
The former Manchester City youth product arrived at the club in January 2021 as one of manager Steve Cotterill's first signings.
He played a key role in survival last season – and attracted interest from Championship clubs in the summer.
He was left out early on in Salop's season but has fought his way back into the squad and been a key performer in recent months.
And it was revealed today by the Shropshire Star those performances attracted the attention of the Swans – who tabled a bid last week for the left back.
That bid was re-buffed but Swansea worked hard deep into deadline day to finally confirm the capture, on an undisclosed fee, at the very end of the window at 11pm.
