Swansea City defender Angel Rangel admits he loves life in Wales.

Spaniard Rangel, the club's longest-serving player with over ten years' service under his belt, is adamant he has no desire to swap his lifestyle for warmer climes back home just yet.

He told The Sun: “The city is my home now. I met my wife in Wales, all our kids were born in Swansea, we built our house here.

“Everything that is connected in my life is in Swansea, except my friends and family in Spain.

“It's such an easy place to live. Every time I step out I don't feel any stress.

“I know the weather isn't great but so what? I've had the weather for 24 years back home.

“It's great to live in the sun, always wearing shorts and flip flops, but if you have it all the time you take it for granted.

“The people call Swansea the beautiful, ugly city, don't they? It has a beautiful seaside and we love living near the sea. When it's sunny it's fantastic.

“It's tranquil and the people are friendly, polite and welcoming."
