Biography
Junior Kiwi representative came to the Warriors after a season with Warrington in 1996-97. Swann made his Test debut as a 20-year-old in 1996 before joining the Auckland Warriors. A vital part of the Warriors’ run to the 2002 grand final from the interchange bench, he cemented a regular first grade position in 2003 but left the club for England and joined premiers Bradford at the end of the year. The strapping lock scored a try on debut with the club in the Bulls’ 22-4 win over Penrith in the World Club Challenge. A 28-Test veteran, Swann made three appearances for the Kiwis in the Tri Nations competition at the end of 2004 in England. Swann moved to Warrington for the 2005 English Super League season.
