Swans re-sign Edwards

Swansea City have re-signed defender Christian Edwards after he joined on a month's loan from League Two side Bristol Rovers.

The 29-year-old's switch back to the South Wales outfit is with a view to a permanent move.

Pirates boss Ian Atkins was keen to pay up the centre back's contract this summer but Edwards opted to stay and fight for his place with the West Country outfit.

Despite the defender's initial intentions, the former Nottingham Forest man has decided to spend four weeks on loan with his old club.

Meanwhile, Yeovil Town have confirmed that The Swans have contacted them regarding the availability of Glovers midfielder Lee Johnson.

Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins and his Yeovil counterpart John Fry are in discussions regarding the former Watford and Cambridge United man.

Both clubs are thought to have been talking over a six-figure fee for the talented 24-year-old but it remains to be seen if the Huish Park club will want Johnson to move to a League One rival.
