Career[edit]

Born in Stuttgart, Benda spent his early career with 1. FC Heidenheim and TSV 1860 Munich.[2] He signed for Swansea City in August 2017 and signed a new three-year contract in June 2019.[3] He joined the Swansea first-team in the 2018–19 season following an injury to Erwin Mulder.[4]

He moved on loan to Swindon Town in September 2019.[5] He made his senior debut on 8 October 2019, in the EFL Trophy, and made his Football League debut on 12 October 2019.[6]

He moved on loan to Peterborough United in January 2022.[7][8]

After his return to Swansea, appearing in 21 games as the club's number one goalkeeper for the 2022–23 season, Benda suffered a "significant" knee injury in January 2023.[9]

Benda signed for Premier League club Fulham on 30 August 2023 for an undisclosed fee.[10][11]
