Club career
Kitchee
He joined Kitchee in 2014 and was promoted to their senior squad in July 2016.[1][3] However, in December 2016 FIFA enforced a ban on numerous foreign players in Hong Kong, including Swainston, as he did not have a Hong Kong passport, thus making him a foreign player.[4] This ruling was eventually overturned, and Swainston made his professional debut on 7 April 2017, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute for Hélio in a 10–0 victory against HKFC.[5]
Loan to Hoi King
On 24 July 2018, following a preseason friendly, Hoi King confirmed that they had acquired Swainston on loan.[6]
On 25 August 2021, Swainston left Kitchee.
Eastern
