Swansea are currently 12th in the Championship table ahead of the visit of Blackpool to the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Verdict

Swansea's decision to keep Grimes in the summer window has been justified as they have now managed to convince him to commit his future to the club.

A key player for the Jacks, the midfielder has already made 18 appearances in all competitions this season and will be hoping to help his side achieve a relative amount of success in the Championship over the coming months.

Providing that Swansea are able to deliver the goods on a consistent basis at this level, there is no reason why they cannot become legitimate contenders for a play-off place in 2022.

By maintaining his form as well as his fitness, Grimes could play a decisive role for the Jacks as they aim to reach new heights under the guidance of head coach Russell Martin.
