Jazz Richards signs three-year Swansea City deal

Swansea City midfielder Jazz Richards has committed his future to the Welsh club by penning a new three-year contract.

The 21-year-old, who was due to come to the end of his current deal this summer, has revealed that he was pursued by a number of other clubs.

"I'm delighted to have signed a new contract at the club," Richards told the club's official website. "Being a Swansea boy, I see my career at the club and I was very keen to commit my future to the Swans.

"By offering me a three-year contract, the club made me feel they have a plan for me. There was interest from other clubs, but Swansea is where I want to be.

"Of course, it is very difficult to get into the team because of the quality of players we have, but I feel that I can return next season and push for my place in the manager's plans."

Richards is currently on loan at Championship outfit Crystal Palace.
