Leon Britton has signed a new contract with Swansea City.
The 29-year old midfielder was already contracted until summer 2013 but has extended his stay at the Liberty Stadium by three years.
Britton, who initially joined the Swans permanently in 2003 before returning from Sheffield United in 2010, was thrilled to put pen to a new deal and is excited to continue his career with the Welsh club.
"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.
"Our debut season in the Premier League has gone well so far and everyone wants to build on that. If we all stick together then, like I said, the future is bright.""I'm pleased to complete the deal," he 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.
