Swansea City have completed the signing of young Falkirk midfielder Ryan Blair on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
The 19-year-old, who made 10 appearances for Falkirk's senior team during his time at the Scottish side, will join up with the Swans' Under-21 squad.
"It feels great," Blair told the club's official website. "I never thought I would get the opportunity to join a Premier League club.
"I was buzzing to get down here, to see all the facilities and be part of it is fantastic. I want to kick on now and get myself some game time between now and the end of the season.
"The Under-21s are doing well this season, so I know I might have to wait for my chance, but I will work hard and hopefully I can get my first game in the next few weeks to show what I can do. For me this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I just can't wait to get started."
Blair is the fourth player to join Swansea's academy in the last 24 months following the acquisitions of Botti Biabi, Stephen Kingsley and Jay Fulton.
