THE Griffith Swans will boast a more formidable engine room next season after securing the services of three Queanbeyan on-ballers.

Tigers players Will Griggs, Ben King and Sam Daniel will relocate to the Riverina in the coming weeks to start pre-season training with their new club.

The recruitment of the talented trio, who have played in the North East Australia Football League, is a coup for the Swans following the departure of two-time Jim Quinn medallist Guy Orton.

Swans coach Brandon Mathews tipped Griggs, King and Daniel to have a big impact at the club.

"All three players, to play at the level they have, sort of speaks for itself," he said.

"They'll be quality for us, without a doubt.

"And they're not just good footballers. They're good blokes as well.

"They're just what we were looking for and will fit in nicely at the club."

The Swans finished sixth on the Riverina Football League ladder last season, two wins outside the top five, a series of close losses at the start of the year costing them a finals berth.

A review of their campaign identified inexperience as a problem, but Mathews said the Queanbeyan arrivals would help resolve that issue.

"To get the three guys with the experience they have is a bonus," Mathews said.

"I think they'll be really good at this level of footy, playing in this league, and will give us the extra bit of leadership that we need.

"It's not just what they can do in games either.

"It'll be great for our young blokes to see how hard they train and the standard they have to get to if they want to get the best out of themselves."

Mathews said the Swans expected to confirm more player signings in the coming weeks.

"Recruitment's been going really good," he said.

"It makes a change from last year, which was just knock back after knock back.

"I think it's just the luck of the draw."
