Career
Born in Australia, he formerly played for Western Australia in Australian domestic matches. However, he did not make his senior debut for the Warriors until January 2010, despite years of scoring heavily for his grade-cricket side Joondalup. While he made a duck in his first List A game, a few weeks later he made an impressive 83 in his debut Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania.
In May 2010, he was awarded a contract with the Warriors for the 2010-2011 season.
He scored his maiden century in October 2010 against Victoria at the WACA Ground. His father was born in the Netherlands, enabling Swart to hold a Dutch passport and being eligible to represent the country.
He had previously rejected an offer to join the team at the Twenty20 World Cup, preferring to concentrate on maintaining his position in the Western Warriors team However, in the following days it appeared that he was unlikely to play at the World Cup, with both Borren"s injury being less severe than first thought and a Dutch selector denying that Swart had been approached.
He was later found guilty by the WACA tribunal and suspended for three matches, with the tribunal rejecting his defence that he was only acting in self-defence.
The following week the conviction and suspension was overturned upon appeal. Swart"s contract with the Warriors was not renewed for the 2011/2012 season, instead signing with Bootle Cricket Club in England.
