Swansea City boss Garry Monk signs new three-year deal

Swansea City boss Garry Monk signs a new three-year contract with the Premier League club.

Swansea City boss Garry Monk has signed a new three-year contract to keep the former player at the Premier League club until the summer of 2018.

Monk originally took over as an interim coach following the sacking of Michael Laudrup in February 2014, and has since gone on to impress having notched a record points tally for the team who finished eighth last year.

"I'm extremely pleased to sign the new deal. We've been talking for a while, mostly over the finer details, so I'm glad it's all finalised heading into a new and very important season for the club," Monk told Swansea's official website.

"It hasn't been a distraction because I will always remain focussed, but it was a situation both myself and the club felt was important to get clarified before the season started.

"This is my 12th year at Swansea and I've always given everything for the club. That will continue and I'm excited and looking forward to the new campaign."

Monk has been at the Welsh club since joining as a player in 2004.
