Swansea midfield signs new contract

Swansea midfield Leon Britton has signed a new one year contract extension at the club. The contract will keep Britton and the Welsh club until 2017.

Britton who moved to Swansea from West Ham in 2002 has reminded at Swansea for the past 12 years.

After signing his contract extension  Britton said To stay on at the club for an extra year on top of my current contract is something that I am delighted to do.

"From a personal point of view, the contract talks these days are so easy. It was done within a day or two with no complications.

"I just wanted to get it done and signed and the club were happy to get it sorted quickly too.

"I'm happy the club still feels I'm able to compete and do well at this level at my age.

"It's a big thing for them to have given me this extension and I want to repay the faith the board and manager has shown in me.

"Hopefully, I can carry on beyond my 34th birthday but that's something we'll cross when we come to it."
