​Swansea skipper Britton signs on for one more year

Published on: 28 June 2017

Swansea captain Leon Britton has signed a one-year extension with the club.

The 35-year old has been with the club since 2002 and made over 520 appearances in that time.

The new deal also includes a clause that could trigger another one-year extension, depending on the number of clearances Britton makes.

The former West Ham midfielder told the club's website: "I felt strong at the end of last season.

"Even when I wasn't playing, I was training well and keeping fit.

"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."
