Bradley 'Brad' Swancott (born 23 July 1979), is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Lambton Jaffas.

Club career

Born in Newcastle, New South Wales,[2] Swancott represented local side Newcastle Breakers in the National Soccer League, making his debut aged just 16. However, he spent most of his time there as understudy to Bob Catlin, and totaled only 21 matches in 5 years.[3] When the breakers dissolved in 2000, Swancott joined the newly formed Newcastle Jets, where he made 4 appearances.

After his release by the Jets, Swancott spent time with NSW Premier League teams, including Bankstown City, Parramatta Eagles and APIA Leichhardt.[4] Swancott also reportedly spent three years with the Weston Workers Bears.[5] Having left Manly United at the end of 2010, Swancott joined the Charlestown City Blues. At the end of the 2014 season, Swancott transferred from National Premier Leagues Northern NSW side Hamilton Olympic to rivals Lambton.[6][7]

Personal life

Swancott still lives and works in Newcastle as a Sales Rep for HIC Services, which manufactures dust extractors and metal preparation machines for use in mines.
