Leon Britton delighted with \'improved\' Swansea deal

Published on: 29 June 2017

Leon Britton is delighted with his new deal at Swansea City.

The 34-year-old has penned a new deal with the Swans, which sees the terms improved on his one-year contract and includes a further one-year option if he strikes an appearance clause.

"I felt strong at the end of last season. Even when I wasn't playing I was training well and keeping fit," said the fans favourite.

“If that wasn't the case then I would know and I wouldn't put myself through that. I would make sure I ended at the right time.

“The club has improved my terms for this season, but there is an option where I can have another year if I play a certain amount of games. So it's potentially a two-year deal, but that depends on how many games I play.

“You have to plan and look to the future when you're coming to the end of your career.

“I've done a bit of coaching and I've been on my Uefa B and A licence with the FAW, which I have enjoyed.

“My idea is to stay at the football club. I've spoken to the chairman and manager about the time when I do finish playing football and I can stay at the club as a coach.

“At the moment my main focus is as a player and giving everything in that respect."
