Leon Britton: 'Easy decision to commit to Swansea City'

Midfielder Leon Britton says that it was an "easy decision" to extend his stay at Swansea City until 2018.

Midfielder Leon Britton has set a target of reaching 600 appearances after signing a new one-year contract with Swansea City.

Britton has played 504 games for the Welsh outfit since first joining the club on loan at the end of 2002, and he has admitted that it was a "very easy decision" to extend his stay at the Liberty Stadium.

The 33-year-old told the club's official website: "Signing the extension was a very easy decision, like most of my contracts at Swansea have been.

"I spoke to the chairman and said if you are happy to have me, let's just keep the same terms. I think it's one of the easiest contracts the club have ever drawn up. If you include the loan deals when I first came, I have now signed 13 contracts at Swansea.

"You never know, there might be a 14th - it's down to me to try to prove I can still do a job. Getting up to 600 appearances for the club might be a big ask, but you have always got to have targets."

Britton started in Swansea's win over Burnley on the opening day of the season but he was not involved on Saturday as his team lost to Hull City.
