Leon Britton: Easy decision to sign new Swansea deal

Leon Britton is delighted with his new deal at Swansea City.

Britton turns 34 next month and has made 514 appearances for a club he first joined on loan from West Ham in December 2002.

"Signing the extension was a very easy decision, like most of my contracts at Swansea have been," Britton told the club's website.

"I spoke to the chairman (Huw Jenkins) and said, 'If you are happy to have me, let's just keep the same terms'.

"I think it's one of the easiest contracts the club have ever drawn up.

"If you include the loan deals when I first came, I have now signed 13 contracts at Swansea.

"You never know, there might be a 14th - it's down to me to try to prove I can still do a job."
