Swansea midfielder Britton says season brings mixed emotions

Swansea midfielder Leon Britton says that the soon-to-be-concluded season has been a mixed one for the Swans.

The Welsh side struggled with relegation for most of the season and could only secure their Premier League status on the penultimate game-week of the season.

"I just think maybe the spirit and determination has been there," he explained. "We've just dealt with the pressure going into these last four games.

"There has been a complete togetherness, really. In those important moments, when we've been able to produce, we've done it.

"It's been a difficult year for everyone at the club, the fans, the players, the staff, and it's just nice to be going into the last game of the season knowing that we're safe.

"We've ridden the wave over the last four games, the timing has been very important. Before that run, we went six games without a win. It is important there's no doubt about that, picking up 10 points from 12 at this stage of the season, when the pressure is on and the points really matter, is of great credit to the team."
