Hi, I'm Dave Jones

Role:

Location:

Gower, Swansea

Favourite ever Swans player(s)?

Ivor Allchrurch (giving my age away there 😊)

When and why did you join the Swans Trust Board?

I joined the Swans Trust Board in 2024 as a co-opted member. When Paul Barret resigned as Trust Secretary I put myself forward for the role. I must admit that it’s a steep learning curve trying to fulfill the role that Paul so brilliantly did over his tenure.

What is your role at the Trust?

Since September 1st 2025 I am the Trust Secretary. When Paul Barret resigned as Trust Secretary I put myself forward for the role. I must admit that it’s a steep learning curve trying to fulfill the role that Paul so brilliantly performed over his tenure.

What are your views on the future and how will you support that?

I look forward to seeing the Trust move forward, especially with a new strategy recently produced. I would like to see the trust being recognised for all the efforts that it produces, including supporting various charities and of course Swansea Supporters as their representative at the club. This will be achieved via the leadership of the Trust Board Officers empathy towards their duties.

Best Swans memory?

That has to be the Championship final at Wembley versus Reading, followed by the Capital One Cup versus Bradford City in 2013.
