Josh Tymon, along with several other Swansea City players, attributes the turnaround of their careers to “top class” head coach Luke Williams.
The 25-year-old defender had trouble with his early-season form after being signed by Michael Duff, Williams’ predecessor, in the summer of 2023.
Nevertheless, Tymon has been a Swans fixture at left-back ever since Williams joined the team in January.
“It’s evident that my performance was below par prior to the manager’s arrival,” Tymon remarked.
“Since the manager joined the team, I have complied with all of his requests without question.
“It’s a natural fit for him to play the way he does, which aids in my daily improvement and helps me maintain my form come game day.”
“I know I’m not the only one in the changing room that has benefited from the manager’s style of play. Honestly he’s top class, brilliant with every player.
“The amount of detail he goes into with how he wants the play to look, especially in wide areas, for us full backs and wide players it’s a dream to play in this system and I’m sure the other lads would back me up on that.”

In addition to Williams’ attacking style, Tymon also says there’s been a defensive improvement.
“We got criticised about that a lot last season for being a bit too easy to play through and conceding soft goals,” added Tymon.
“Whereas this year we’ve got a really solid base and it’s not just the boys at the back. We press really well from the front. Everyone knows their jobs and everyone is willing to do the work to help keep the goals out.
“We’re learning more about each other, especially in the back four, because we have two of the best center backs in the league in Ben Cabango and Harry Darling, who can just eat balls for joy in the air.
“We also have a new keeper.” Lawrence Vigoroux, aka Vigs, has been amazing, and the group has come together to form a solid unit that will only become better over the coming weeks.
