Swailes completes Gateshead move

Chris Swailes
Swailes was a regular in the SPL for Hamilton last season

Gateshead have signed experienced defender Chris Swailes on a one-year deal in preparation for the 2009-10 Blue Square Premier season.

Swailes, 38, was recently released by Scottish Premier League side Hamilton, and also played for Rotherham, Ipswich and Oldham during his 20-year career.

"I'm a Gateshead lad and a number of my friends are members so this is a great move for me," Swailes said.

"It would be great to end my career at Gateshead," he added.

Meanwhile the Tynesiders have also snapped up goalkeeper Paul Farman from rivals Blyth Spartans, also on a one-year deal in addition to the signing of former Durham City striker Steven Richardson.
