Swansea City midfielder Scott Donnelly hopes for new chance at the Liberty stadium.

The 24-year-old has made just two appearances for the Swans since joining from Aldershot in 2010 due to serious knee injury.

Connolly told Sky Sports: "The new gaffer was an outstanding player in his own right and if he is even half as good as coach then it is going to be a world class environment to be in.

"Hopefully, his arrival will give me a clean slate to show what I can do, but that's only if I'm needed back at Swansea for pre-season.

"I've spoken to them a few times over the summer, but Brendan was in the process of moving to Liverpool, so that delayed things at my end as well.

"I really want to give it a go under the new manager, as long as he wants me, so I'll probably find out next week whether I'm wanted back at Swansea for pre season training or not.

"I'd love to give it a good old go during the final year of my contract and I've always said that if Swansea wanted me then I'm fully committed to them, but I was also very grateful for them to let me go out on loan to Wycombe for the time that they did because it gave me the chance to get some games."
