Swansea City boss Russell Martin says Connor Roberts' sale to Burnley was the right call.

The 25-year-old defender – who has been capped 31 times by Wales - signed a four-year deal with the Clarets as he makes the step up to the Premier League.

"He's made the right choice for him and we really hope it goes well for him and wish him nothing but success," Martin told Wales Online.

"We offered him a new contract. It was something he wanted to wait on and see out the window, and after speaking to him again yesterday, he's left with a very heavy heart.

"It was a very tough decision for him. He's said it was an emotional decision but he felt opportunities like that don't come up all the time, especially after a big injury like he's had so that was in the back of his mind.

"He leaves with everyone's best wishes. He's done brilliantly for the club, he's a supporter of the club and he's been consistently one of the best performers here."
