Young scorers help Swansea U18s extend unbeaten league start

Swansea City’s younger academy players helped their under-18 side maintain an unbeaten start to the Professional Development League with a 5–2 win over Fleetwood Town on Saturday. Under-15 player Llewelyn Gregson and under-16 Jacinto Merrony-Janota both started and scored, according to Swansea’s official report. The club also credited Buster Morgan with three assists, a contribution that helped the hosts respond after conceding early.

Younger players help turn the game

Finley Haselden put Fleetwood ahead after four minutes. Gregson equalised with a volley after a misplaced defensive pass, before Rio Hassan headed Swansea in front from a corner. Merrony-Janota then converted Morgan’s delivery to make it 3–1 at half-time. The age-group detail matters alongside the score: both younger starters contributed goals while playing in the under-18 team. It is one match’s evidence of that opportunity, not a prediction about either player’s senior career.

The response at 3–2

Fleetwood cut the deficit with a second-half penalty, but Swansea restored their two-goal advantage immediately after the restart. Morgan supplied Kaleab Meron for a shot into the top corner, completing the three assists credited to him by the club. Sol Baker added the fifth after making room to shoot inside the area. Swansea therefore finished with five different scorers rather than relying on one player for the goals.

What the result establishes

The club’s report confirms that the unbeaten league start continued. It does not provide a current table position or the number of league matches in that sequence, so those are not inferred here. This academy update uses Swansea’s account throughout. Possession, shot totals and player ratings were not supplied and are not substituted from the senior team’s statistics.
