Leon Britton signs new Swansea City deal

Midfielder Leon Britton extends his contract with Swansea City until 2017.

Midfielder Leon Britton has extended his contract with Swansea City until 2017.

Britton has played an important part in Swansea's journey from the fourth tier of English football to establishing themselves in the Premier League, and the 31-year-old has been rewarded for his loyalty to the Welsh club.

Apart from a six-month spell with Sheffield United, Britton has played for the Swans since 2002, making a total of 461 appearances in all competitions.

The former West Ham United trainee only made 25 appearances in the top flight last season, but he featured regularly during the club's Europa League campaign and his contract extension will see him remain in Wales for another three years.
