Brendan Rodgers signs new Swansea deal

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers has signed a new contract which will keep him with the Welsh side until 2015.

Rodgers, who had been on a rolling contract since taking over from Paulo Sousa in 2010, guided the Swans to the top flight in his first season in charge at the club and has now made strong start to life in the Premier League.

"I'm delighted to sign the new deal," he told the club's official website. "I hope the club and supporters feel it is still a good fit for everyone.

"I've been very pleased with my work over the last 19 months. I can only promise that over the next three-and-a-half years I will continue to fight for the club and its people.

"I very much appreciate what Swansea as a city, a club and supporters have given me and my family over the last 19 months. Signing the new contract was one of the easiest decisions of my life."

Rodgers was earlier this week named the first Premier League manager of the month in 2012.
