Swansea City confirm that Leon Britton has inked a new three-year deal with the former Championship club.

Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton has finally put pen to paper on a new contract at the Liberty Stadium.

Recent reports claimed that the 29-year-old had agreed to extend his stay with the former Championship side.

"I'm pleased to complete the deal," Britton told the club's official website. "It was an easy decision for me to make, although I still find it strange when I look back to the day I left for Sheffield United.

"I didn't even think I would be back in Swansea colours, let alone playing for the club in the Premier League armed with a new three-year contract.

"That will take me up to my 32nd birthday, but I'd like to think that if I can keep myself fit and healthy, live my life right, then I can go on until my mid to late thirties. In an ideal world I'd like to stay at Swansea until the day I retire - or they retire me! - because I love it here and the club has a bright future ahead of it."

Britton, who joined the Swans in 2002, will be contracted to the club until 2015.
