Scott Sinclair leaves Swansea with 'great memories'

The deal taking Swansea City winger Scott Sinclair to Manchester City has been completed on transfer deadline day. The 23-year-old leaves the Liberty Stadium after two highly successful seasons, during which he played a central role in winning promotion from the Championship, and maintaining Swansea's Premier League status.

It's thought Swansea will receive at least £6 million for the winger, who represented Great Britain four times at the Olympics this summer. Sinclair played 82 league games for the Swans, scoring 28 goals.

Sinclair began his career at Bristol Rovers, making his debut at 15, before moving to Chelsea. He spent time on loan at Plymouth, QPR, Charlton, Crystal Palace, Birmingham and Wigan. He moved to South Wales in 2010, joining from Chelsea for £500,000 in a deal that rose to £1.5 million - making him Swansea's record signing at the time.

The England under-21 international scored 19 goals in Swansea's promotion-winning campaign, including a memorable hat-trick in the play-off final against Reading at Wembley. He got eight goals last season, including the club's first in the Premier League, as Swansea finished eleventh. After a summer of speculation, his departure from the Liberty was sealed, when the Premier League champions - and the prospect of Champions League football - came calling.
