The 25-year-old’s arrival provides head coach Luke Williams with a versatile defensive option, with Delcroix able to play centrally and at left-back.
Delcroix will provide competition for Ben Cabango and Harry Darling at Swansea, and may go straight into Williams’ side at Norwich City this Saturday with Darling facing a potential three-match ban following his sending off against Sheffield United in midweek.
The Belgian international will wear the number 28 shirt in SA1 and will bring top-flight and international experience to the Swans squad.
Delcroix, who was born in Haiti but raised in Belgium, came through the youth ranks at Anderlecht to reach the senior team, making his first-team bow in 2018.
He also had a loan spell with RKC Waalwijk before joining Burnley in the summer of 2023, following their promotion to the Premier League.
He made 15 appearances in all competitions for the Clarets before suffering an ankle injury. He has represented Belgium at every level from under-15s up, winning a senior cap against Switzerland in 2020.
Speaking after gaining his first signing of the transfer window, Swans boss Luke Williams said:
“We’re delighted to have an additional option in defence with Hannes joining us.
“His versatility and experience will be invaluable to us. He has played in the top-flight and at international level, and we’re hopeful he will make an immediate impact on our squad.
“We look forward to working with him, and seeing his contribution in our upcoming fixtures between now and the end of the season.”
A delighted Hannes Delcroix said on signing for Swansea:
“I am very excited to be here, it happened at short notice but I am happy. I just want to help the team as much as I can.
“It was clear on the way the way the coach wants to play, and it fits me really well. He’s a great coach; you can see his vision in the game.
“I like to have a lot of the ball. I looked at the data and Swansea have a lot of possession.
“I like to build up from the back, and I think Swansea fits my style of play.
“I think I’m always comfortable on the ball, I like to cover the spaces of full-backs, and I hope everyone will see me play and see what my qualities are.”
