Prior to the 2012–13 season, Swansea City's second-string side were a reserve team who had mainly appeared in the Welsh Football League and the English Football Combination. The Reserves also had some short stints in the Western League and the Southern League. Following Swansea City's promotion to the Premier League in 2011, Swansea's reserve team were invited to play in the 2011-12 Premier Reserve League. They finished 7th in what would turn out to be their last season as a 'reserve team'.
The historical venue for Swansea City's reserve matches was the Vetch Field. Following the Vetch Field's closure at the end of the 2004/05 season, Swansea City's second string have played at numerous temporary homes. This has included St. Helen's Rugby and Cricket Ground, Port Talbot Town F.C.'s Victoria Road , The Gnoll in Neath, Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli. Swansea City's home venue for their first season as an Under-21 team was Llanelli A.F.C.'s Stebonheath Park.
