Blair, 19, is following in the footsteps of Botti Biabi, Stephen Kingsley, and Jay Fulton, who all joined Swansea's development squad from Falkirk over the past 24 months.

"It feels great," Blair said. "I never thought I would get the opportunity to join a Premier League club. I was buzzing to get down here - to see all the facilities and be part of it is fantastic. I want to kick on now and get myself some game time between now and the end of the season.

"I played with Stephen, Jay, and Botti at Falkirk. I was good mates with them all, so it is great to be joining them at Swansea. The three of them being here will help me settle quicker. They are all good players and I am looking forward to getting back out on the pitch with them.

"The under-21s are doing well this season, so I know I might have to wait for my chance. But I will work hard and hopefully I can get my first game in the next few weeks to show what I can do. For me this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I just can't wait to get started."

Since making his debut for Falkirk, Blair tallied 10 appearances for the club's first team, including seven league fixtures.
