Swansea City has appointed Ben Stevens as their new sporting director. The club's recruitment structure has been overhauled, with Stevens set to start on July 10. He will work closely with Jay Lefevre, the new head of recruitment, who has taken over from Adam Worth.
Lefevre will lead a scouting team to identify potential targets, with input from Jamestown Analytics. Stevens will then oversee negotiations with players, use his experience working with agents and player representatives from his time at Crystal Palace.
As of June 26, 2026, Swansea City stands 11th in the Championship, with 64 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WDWLW. They have scored 57 goals and conceded 59, resulting in a -2 goal difference. The team is 31 points behind leaders Coventry.
Stevens' appointment and the partnership with Jamestown Analytics have raise optimism ahead of the pre-season schedule. With the new recruitment structure in place, Swansea City fans will be eager to see how the team performs in the upcoming season. The club's chief executive, Tom Gorringe, will continue to oversee contract negotiations, including the ongoing talks with Ethan Galbraith.
