Wycombe Wanderers have completed the signing of Swansea City defender Sam Parker on a season-long loan deal. The right-back, who turned 20 earlier this month, arrives in South Buckinghamshire as the club's seventh new signing of the summer. His unveiling comes just days after head coach Michael Duff openly admitted that signing a right-back was one of the club's priorities before the start of the new League One campaign.
