Garry Monk has been reunited with Swansea City defender Connor Roberts as the full back has joined Middlesbrough on a season long loan. Monk has raided his former club to hijack his first loan arrival of the season.
The player hasn’t featured in Swansea’s senior side for a single time but having known him since his Swansea days, Monk has taken a bit of a gamble which could eventually end on a positive note. Basically a right back, he is equally fluent on the opposite side of the defence.
Monk is trying to give the team an uplift following a disappointing last season as the Riversiders were demoted to the Championship.
Roberts showed his class during a loan spell with Yeovil Town as the defender was adjudged the player of the season at the club. But his development hasn’t shaped that way everyone had hoped and he has been confined to the background after a short stint with the Swansea U-23 side last term.
