Swansea City have snapped up Ireland underage goalkeeper Joe Collins.<\/p>\n

The Bohemians<\/a> prospect, who has made two Leinster Senior Cup appearances for the League of Ireland<\/a> side, joins ahead of Monday\u2019s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

Collins was previously at Bray Wanderers<\/a>, where he played for the Seagulls\u2019 underage sides, before he moved to Bohemians in 2023.<\/p>\n

It is believed that there was interest in the 18-year-old, who turns 19 later this month, from rival Championship sides, while some Premier League<\/a> clubs were also keeping tabs on him.<\/p>\n

Swansea, currently 15th in the Championship table, last summer shot into the global headlines when they landed some high-profile new co-owners.<\/p>\n

In December US business woman Martha Stewart joined rapper Snoop Dogg and Croatia legend Luka Modric as part-owner of the Welsh side.<\/p>\n

Last September Swansea signed Ireland striker Adam Idah in an \u20ac8million move from Celtic.<\/p>\n

Idah is currently recovering from a hamstring injury, which looks set to rule him out of Ireland\u2019s World Cup play-off against Czechia in March.<\/p>\n

Collins\u2019 arrival comes just days after Dubliner Glory Nzingo left the club to return to St Patrick\u2019s Athletic.<\/p>\n
