Jay Fulton believes Swansea City’s current squad depth is the best it has been since the club’s relegation from the Premier League in 2018.
The midfielder joined the Swans from Falkirk in January 2014 and is now representing the club in the Championship for a ninth successive campaign.
With 10 games of 2026-27 played, Vitor Matos’ side sit atop the table, having earned 23 of the 30 points on offer – making it Swansea’s best start to a season since exiting the top-flight just over eight years ago.
When asked whether Swansea have their strongest squad depth since dropping into the second tier, Fulton responded: “I think so.
“If you look at it on paper, there’s almost two players in every position. The manager rotates the team quite a lot, and the results have kept coming.”
Swansea’s depth is perhaps best evidenced by the fact that Matos is one of only two bosses in the league – Bristol City’s Michael Skubala being the other – to use all 50 substitution slots available to him so far this term.
The Swans have seen four goals scored from subs already this season, the joint-second most of any team in the division.
“It feels like a bigger squad; it feels like [there is] a lot more depth and quality,” Fulton added.
“When one player comes out, the next player comes in, and I don’t feel as if there’s been any drawback from it really.”
