Joel Cotterill

Joel Cotterill of Swansea City was born on 10 October 2004 (age 21).

Joel Cotterill, born on 10 October 2004 (age 21), is a Welsh centre midfielder on the books at Swansea City. His senior career is still narrow in scope, with little need to dress it up beyond that.

The main body of his first-team football has come at Dundee, where he made 13 league appearances in the 2025-26 season and scored once. That spell, more than anything around Swansea so far, is what gives his career a shape at senior level.

His current market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Cotterill’s profile is that of a young Welsh midfielder whose clearest senior run came in Scotland with Dundee.

Cotterill’s career path had already taken in Swansea City, Swindon Town, Bristol Rovers and Dundee by age 21, but the supplied appearance record remained thin. The pattern was a development-loan route rather than a settled senior breakthrough, with movement across levels used to search for regular minutes.

The transfer record was almost entirely loan-based: Swansea sent Cotterill to Swindon Town in July 2024, brought him back in June 2025, loaned him to Bristol Rovers in September 2025, recalled him in January 2026 and then sent him to Dundee eight days later. There were no fees listed, which suggested Swansea were managing his pathway rather than cashing in or making a permanent decision.
