​Britton declines to take on Swansea job full time

Swansea caretaker head coach Leon Britton has ruled himself out of taking the job on a permanent basis.

Speaking ahead of the Crystal Palace game at the Liberty Stadium, Britton said: "I don't think it is the right time for me to take the job on a permanent basis.

"It is not to say I wouldn't take it in the future but I just think at this moment in time it is not the right move for me to become the permanent manager of Swansea.

"I've been asked to help the club out which is something I'll always do but in terms of the immediate future I'm not looking to be the full-time manager."
