| abstract
| - Ben Swallow is a midfielder and forward who progressed through the Rovers youth system at the Bristol Academy of Sport, graduating to the first team squad in the summer of 2008, the same year as James Tyrell and Joe White. Before joining the Filton College setup he spent seven years playing schoolboy football for Cardiff City. In his first year with the senior squad, during which time he was loaned out to Taunton Town, Bridgwater Town and Chippenham Town, he wasn't used in any of Rovers' first team games, and in the summer of 2009 The Pirates only elected to keep him on a month-to-month rolling contract. He made his senior debut for Rovers in August 2009, coming on as a 73rd minute substitute, replacing Sean Rigg in a 2–1 League Cup win over Aldershot Town. Following this he was signed until the end of the 2009–10 season, and he continued to be a semi-regular first team player, mainly being used as a substitute. His performances during this spell earned him much praise, and in January 2010 he was rewarded with an improved contract that took him up until the summer of 2012. The appointment of Paul Buckle as manager in 2011 saw Swallow fall out of favour at the club, and after being told his services would no longer be required he was sent out on loan to Bath City. An injury crisis forced his recall to The Pirates, and he was presented with the opportunity to earn a second chance with Buckle when he made his first Rovers appearance of the 2011–12 season, coming on as a substitute in the 6–1 victory over AFC Totton in the FA Cup. He blew his chance however when he was sent off just five minutes after coming on, incurring the wrath of the Rovers boss in the process. He left The Gas on 31 January 2012, when he and the club mutually agreed to terminate his contract.
