Neil Taylor admitted it was a simple choice to commit to a four-year deal with Swansea City.

The 26-year old left-back penned the new contract with the Swans on Monday and told the club's official website that it was not a tough conclusion to make.

"It was an easy decision," he said. "I'm glad we've managed to get it done early - both myself and the club wanted it to happen I'm really happy and focused on Swansea.

"We've been so successful in recent years and the club is really moving forward now. Last season was our best yet - we have a young, hungry manager and everything is progressing here both on and off the field.

"The training ground is being developed at the moment and each year we seem to be making big strides. But we know that next season this group of players is able to make another big mark on the Premier League and we're hoping we can do great things again.

"I think we'll strengthen again this summer, so as a player there is no other place you would want to be right now."

Wales international Taylor, who joined Swansea from Wrexham in 2010, was believed to be a summer transfer target for both Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion.
