Swales leads crew of international players for Men’s soccer

Year after year, hundreds of athletes transfer schools for different reasons. Some players crave more playing time, some transfer for personal reasons and some just find a program that’s a better fit.

For Kelan Swales, a member of App State’s men’s soccer team, he’s found a program that is a great fit for him, and the team has welcomed him with open arms. The speedy midfielder hit the ground running for the Mountaineers, and he hasn’t looked back since.

“Transfers are one of those things where something hasn’t worked out in the first school they’ve chosen,” head coach Jason O’Keefe said.
