The centre-back has now landed a two-year deal at Swansea with the option of an additional 12 months.
I am delighted to be joining Swansea, its a big club with a proud history, he told the Championship clubs website.
They made it clear that they really wanted me, and with the way the head coach spoke about the club, the environment he wants to create and the way he wants to play, it was a no-brainer.
The Championship is a brilliant division, and one I am excited to be playing my football in and challenging myself in. I have experience but I am also young enough to be ready for a new opportunity and a new chapter in my career.
