Cullen still has ‘huge part’ to play - Sheehan

Western Mail

October 03, 2025

ALAN Sheehan insists Liam Cullen is ‘a huge part’ of his plans at Swansea City, despite the striker’s struggles for game time this season.

- TOM COLEMAN Football Writer

After starting the first three games of the Championship campaign, the Wales international has been restricted to a string of appearances from the bench for City, amid increased competition for places.

Adam Idah has further strengthened a front line that’s been lit up by Slovenian Zan Vipotnik, while there has also been an increase in attacking midfield options on the back of a hugely productive transfer widow. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here.

Cullen offered up a timely reminder of his qualities in the win over Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night, coming off the bench to net the winner in a 2-1 victory.

It was a cameo that might well have played him into contention for tomorrow's clash with Leicester City at the Swansea.com Stadium, but Sheehan insists Cullen has always been firmly in his thinking.
