The 33-year-old, who has turned out for Derby and Leicester among others over the years, had featured in 15 games for the Terriers this season, but he recently lost his place to Ryan Schofield following an injury.

And, with Steve Cooper desperate for a backup keeper following an injury to Steven Benda, the Swans acted quickly to seal a deal for Hamer, who has agreed an 18-month contract with the Welsh side.

Given the circumstances, it’s fair to say that most Swansea fans see this as a smart bit of business from the club, as Hamer has plenty of experience, and he appears to be a capable deputy to Freddie Woodman, who has enjoyed a fine individual campaign so far.

Here we look at some of the comments following the transfer on Twitter…

Welcome Ben 👍🦢 #YJB

This is so necessary considering we are not 100% to secure woodman past this season. Leaving us with now 2 keepers who can be seniors in hamer and benda
