The 20-year-old began his career Chelsea, where he made his way through the London club’s academy ranks from Under-8 level, before joining Swansea in 2021 and featuring for their Under-21s. The adaptable defender then went on to sign his first professional contract with Swansea in 2022.
Falkirk Manager John McGlynn said on bringing Filip to The Falkirk Stadium:
“We’re delighted to bring in Filip, he’s a versatile defender that can play at centre back and the full back areas. We’re short right now and are only one injury away from being at the bare bones at the back, so he gives us that cover we need in those positions.
“He’s a ball playing defender who has great energy and drive. He reads the game well, but also does well defending situations, which is equally important. He joins on a season long loan with a view of developing as a player, and there’s no better place to do that than here at Falkirk Football Club. It’s a great place to be playing football and put onto the stage of the Scottish Premiership.
“Filip is a player who has been recommended to us, we also have spoken to Kyrell Wilson about him, and they are very good friends which always helps with settling in
“We look forward to working with Filip and we’re sure he will get a great welcome from everyone, the boys who have come in already have been very complimentary on how they have been welcomed, which speaks volumes for everyone associated with the football club.”
“I would like to thank everyone at Swansea City again for their work in getting this over the line, in particular Ben Greenwood and Richard Montague.”
