Yeovil Town are pleased to announce the signing of Swansea defender Liam Shephard on a six month loan deal.

Liam, 21, rejoins for a third loan agreement at Huish Park having arrived in each of the last two campaigns for shorter spells. In 2014-15, he made 20 appearances, scooping the Young Player Of The Year award before then returning in March for another six games, this time as a midfielder.

Glovers manager Darren Way was delighted to get the young Welshman back on board. "Liam is someone I know really well as someone who has been an integral part of this club. He came back to help me last year during one of the most important periods of this club’s history so I know he has a high level of commitment to us."

"I’m sure he will be a fantastic signing for the club and I’m excited to have him in my back four."
