Steve Cooper has stated his commitment to Swansea City.

The manager has been linked with Crystal Palace.

Speaking for the first time since their 2-0 defeat to Brentford at Wembley at the end of last month, Cooper told City's website they will "have to come again".

“I am proud of the players," Cooper said. "I feel like we had an unbelievable season to get to where we got to.

“We had every right to be at Wembley for the final because of the work we put in, but we also had no right to be there in respect of some of the circumstances we have worked under and the challenges we have faced.

“After the final I was even more proud of the players than I was before. They were 2-0 down on a big stage and they never gave up.

“I have said it all along this season, with the squad we have had and in this season of all seasons the players deserve that credit. They certainly get it from me.

“When you lose a final, it is hard to feel like you have had a really good season. We have had a really good season, but we will have to come again."
