Club career
Swankie signed for Dundee after his contract at Arbroath ended having come through the youth ranks at Gayfield Park. He made 73 starts for Arbroath, as well as 32 substitute appearances, scoring seven goals. He returned to Arbroath on loan in January 2006 until the end of the season and then returned to Dundee, where he featured regularly over the next two seasons. Although linked to Cliffburn Hotel F.C, on 1 May 2008, Swankie signed for Dundee's Tayside rivals St Johnstone. He was released at the end of the 2009–10 season and signed for a third spell at Arbroath. He won the Third Division Player of the Year award for the 2010–11 campaign, and his goals helped Arbroath win their first senior league championship.
Swankie signed for Forfar Athletic in the 2012 summer transfer window. On 3 August 2013, Swankie was the hero for Forfar Athletic when his two goals helped beat Rangers 2–1 in the Scottish League Cup at Station Park. This was Forfar's first victory against Rangers.
In July 2017, with one-year left on his contract, Swankie was placed on the transfer list by Forfar after he had intimated that he wished to leave the club. On 4 July 2017, Swankie signed with former club Arbroath for a fee of £8,000.
