Swansea City club captain Garry Monk has revealed that he is feeling frustrated at his lack of first-team action.

The 33-year-old defender has made just four league appearances this season, but he insists that he intends to remain at the Liberty Stadium and fight for his place.

"Swansea are my club, I've been here nine years," said Monk. "I do not want to go elsewhere so I am not really thinking about that right now. If there are options I will wait to see what the manager's thoughts are.

"I am in the squad and when I have played I think I have done well, but until I have spoken to the manager I can't say much.

"A lot depends on who the club bring in during the window and what the manager thinks. I feel fit and ready to play. Like every player on the bench you feel a bit wasted on the bench and that you could be doing a job for the team.

"I just make sure I am professional and train hard so that when I am called upon I am ready."

Monk featured in 36 matches during the 2010-2011 campaign, as the Swans won promotion from the Championship.
