The Scot has played 65 times for the Swans, though, since arriving from Watford in 2016 as a youth-team player.

He was sat with Charlie Daniels – another player signed by the Blues today – in the director’ box for the 4-0 loss to Hull.

Pompey have made three January signings so far, following Harvey White’s arrival on Monday.
