Swansea City began their Championship campaign on Saturday with a1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough, Dael Fry scoring the decisive goal for Rob Edwards' side from a corner.
Kaelan Casey, who only joined last Wednesday on a season-long loan from West Ham United, made his Swans debut off the bench at the Riverside, the 20-year-old replacing Ben Cabango in the 75th minute with the centre-back suffering from cramp.
"First half I think we played really well," said Casey. "Second half we conceded from a set piece which is not great, but I think going to training we'll work on some stuff and be back for the next game.
"I came in the other day, trained a couple of times but really looking forward to the season ahead."
An England Under-20 international, Casey has made two substitute appearances in the Premier League for West Ham but has been allowed to leave in order to gain first-team experience.
"I've come here to test myself and see what I can do," he added. "But I've mainly come to help the team out and try as do as well as we can.
"It's a family club, the facilities here, the players, they way we play [are good]. I spoke to the manager (Alan Sheehan) to see the way he wanted to play and that attracted me to come here."
Swansea City play their first home game of the season on Tuesday night when they host Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup (19:00 BST).
