Ferrie Bodde
Ferrie began his career at Dutch side ADO Den Haag where he came up through the clubs youth academy and made his debut as an 18 year old in 2000.
After only making 4 appearances in his first season as a senior player, Bodde has gone on to be ever present in the centre of the Den Haag midfield. Even after the clubs promotion to the Eredivisie (the top division in the Dutch league), he still remained a regular in the team.
Unfortunately, after a four year stint in the Dutch top flight, Den Haag were relegated, and after 15 years at the club, Ferrie felt it was time to move on with a move to the UK looking most likely despite interest from Feyenord and FC Zurich.
Aberdeen were in the running to sign former Dutch Under 23 international but were scared off by Den Haag's £70,000 price tag. And after a trip to The Liberty Stadium to see the Swans 6 - 3 defeat to Blackpool, Bodde has signed for the Swans on a long term, performance related deal for a fee of around £70,000.
Manager Roberto Martinez has said he is a good passer of the ball, tactically very aware and is aggressive in the right way - a playmaker of the highest quality.
