Swansea midfielder Britton: Pressure far greater in lower leagues

Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton has no doubts the pressure in the lower leagues is far more intense than in the Premier League.

Britton played for Swans also in League Two - so he knows what he's talking about.

"The Premier League is a completely different kind of pressure.

"Back then you were talking about people paying for mortgages, players with families.

"Everybody's contracts, bar one player, were up. We were all playing for our futures.

"Financially, we are well rewarded in the Premier League, so you don't have to worry too much about that side.

"The pressure in League Two is a lot more intense because of what is on the line."
