Swansea City youngster Liam Shephard has joined League Two side Yeovil Town on loan until January.

The right-back has enjoyed two previous spells with the Glovers, who are managed by former Swansea midfielder Darren Way.

Shephard first appeared for Yeovil for the second half of the 2014/15 season, making 20 showings at Huish Park, claiming their Young Player of the Year award in the process. The promising full-back then joined them again for a brief stint in March 2016, making six appearances.

The 21-year-old is hoping to make the same impact as fellow Swansea under-21 defender, Connor Roberts. Roberts spent the whole of last season on loan at Yeovil, and impressed all of those in the South West of England, showing up over 50 times and obtaining their Young Player of the Year award.

Shephard has made one senior appearances for the Swans, with that being in January’s very disappointing FA Cup loss to Oxford United. We wish the Wales under-21 international well for the next six months at Yeovil.
