Joins the Swans from Adelaide, where he played 14 games over the past two seasons, having been drafted in 2007.

Grew up in NSW as a Swans supporter and is relishing the chance to return home. Renowned for his kicking skills off half-back, Armstrong could be a nice fit for the Swans alongside players such as Rhyce Shaw, Martin Mattner and Alex Johnson.

With Tadhg Kennelly retiring, he should have an opportunity to find a place in the Swans’ backline.

Previous AFL club: Adelaide (2010-11: 14 games, 0 goals).

Draft history: 2007 NAB AFL Draft 4th round selection (Adelaide) No. 58 overall; 2011 NAB AFL Draft traded by Adelaide for Lewis Johnston.
