Benjamin Owen "Ben" Swallow (born 20 October 1989) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a winger for Havant & Waterlooville.
Born in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Swallow attended Eglwys Newydd Primary School in Whitchurch, Cardiff from 1994 to 2001.
Swallow played schoolboy football for Cardiff City for seven years before being released and went on to spend two years with South Gloucestershire and Stroud College, playing for the College side and Bristol Rovers' under-18 team. After finishing at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College he signed his first professional contract with Rovers during the summer of 2008, ahead of the start of the 2008–09 season. He joined Southern Football League Division One South & West side Taunton Town on loan in September 2008, making his debut in a 4–0 defeat away at Gosport Borough. Swallow made five appearances for Taunton in all competitions before signing for Bridgwater Town of the Southern Football League Division One South & West on a one-month loan in November. He started a one-month loan with Southern Football League Premier Division side Chippenham Town on 20 February 2009. Swallow started his fourth and final loan of the season after joining Southern Football League Premier Division side Mangotsfield United in April.
Swallow had earned much praise for his pre-season performances in 2009, and his senior debut came on 11 August, when he played in a League Cup first round tie against Aldershot Town, coming on as a 73rd minute substitute for Sean Rigg.
