editSwift comes from the town of Muswellbrook in the Hunter region of New South Wales. He played Sydney grade cricket with Hawkesbury before moving to Canberra in the 1997/98 season.[1] A left-handed batsman, Swift captained Queanbeyan in the ACTCA competition for three seasons. He played a total of nine matches for the ACT Comets in Australia's domestic limited-overs tournament.[2]
Since the early 2000s he has lived in England, where he moved to pursue a career in coaching. As a player, he has competed in the Bolton league and holds the record for the highest score in the Hamer Cup, an innings of 226 not out for Walkden against Farnworth in 2005.[3]
A Level 4 qualified ECB coach, Swift worked with Lancashire from 2006 to 2011 as a team analyst and coach of the Colts.[4]
When former Lancashire player Stuart Law was appointed coach of Bangladesh in 2011, one of his first appointments was Swift, who was recruited as the national side's fielding coach.[5] After two years in Bangladesh, Swift took up a role at Sussex, where he coaches the second XI.[6]
