The transfer history was dominated by loans and returns. Aston Villa sent Swinkels to Bristol Rovers in February 2025, Exeter City in July 2025 and Chesterfield in January 2026, with no listed fees. That pattern suggests Villa were managing his development away from the first-team squad rather than moving him on permanently.
