 Fallon scored five goals for Swindon last season |
Swansea City have signed striker Rory Fallon from League One rivals Swindon for a fee in the region of �300,000. The 23-year-old, 6ft 2in Kiwi agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal after completing a medical on Wednesday.
The targetman baulked on a Swans move earlier this season, but now joins Lee Trundle, Leon Knight, Adebayo Akinfenwa and Paul Connor on their striking rota.
The move will fuel speculation on Trundle's future, with Portsmouth watching the star striker on Tuesday.
Trundle is reportedly close to agreeing a new contract at the Liberty Stadium, but he has yet to sign and rumours of Premiership interest are legion.
Fallon, the son of former New Zealand national coach Kevin, joined Swindon from Barnsley for �50,000 in November 2003, following previous spells with Shrewsbury and Yeovil.
He scored 21 goals in 75 league appearances for Swindon, but would have been out of contract in the summer.
"We have been working hard for the last two-to-three weeks to bring Rory to Swansea," club chairman Huw Jenkins told the Swansea website.
"We are absolutely delighted to finally add another quality striker to our squad.
"I feel we've made some great signings in the last couple of weeks which will give the squad the strength-in-depth it needs to push hard for an automatic promotion place."
It has been confirmed that Swansea's FAW Premier Cup semi-final at Carmarthen will be on Wednesday, 8 February (1800 GMT).
