Swaby brings a vast wealth of experience to South London, having played top-flight football in the United States, France and Italy, as well as having won 37 caps for Jamaica.
The centre-back began her career at the Boston College Eagles, before moving to Icelandic team Knattspyrnufélag Fjarðabyggðar (KFF).
She then made the move to Italy, where she featured regularly for AS Roma between 2018 and 2022.
During her time in the Italian capital, Swaby played a key role in helping the club secure their first-ever major trophy – the Coppa Italia – in 2021.
On the international stage, Swaby has been a key figure for Jamaica, representing the Reggae Girlz in multiple major tournaments, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2019 and 2023.
In the latter edition, Swaby scored the winning goal in her country's first-ever World Cup finals win, heading in a corner in a 1-0 win over Panama.
She has proven to be an important part of Palace's defence since signing - playing 30 times in all competitions since January 2025.
