Jay Fulton

Fulton signed from a Scottish lower league club as a teenager and simply never left, which on its own tells you plenty about the type of professional he is. He has filled in at central midfield, out wide and in deeper holding roles, depending on what a given manager has asked of him that week. That means doing the defensive legwork that lets more expressive teammates play further forward. Loan spells away from Swansea only ever seemed to sharpen his appreciation for the club rather than push him toward the exit.

The trade off with a player this adaptable is that he rarely gets remembered for one defining skill the way a specialist does. Ask five different Swansea supporters what Fulton actually does best and expect five different answers. His value has always been in solving whatever problem the team has that afternoon, rather than in a single standout attribute.
