Planet Swans ArchivesThe new signing told the Evening Post “I had a few offers from other clubs but as soon as I came down to speak to the manager and chairman (Huw Jenkins) I was very committed to Swansea and I wasn’t going to go back on my word
“I spoke to a lot of people about the manager before I came down for talks and they all had nothing but praise for him as a person and a coach.
“I needed confirmation for myself on how he saw me fitting in to the squad, but as soon as I spoke to him I knew there was only one place for me.
“There is a great set-up here at Swansea, from the stadium and the pitch to the squad itself. There are some very good young players here and I think everyone in the game is well aware of their unique style of play.
“They always play good football, which I think will suit me. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Chairman Huw Jenkins was equally as pleased to have got his man and said “Brendan feels he can work with Luke to release his full potential.
“And with the type of club we are and the football we play, I’m convinced he can bring a great deal to this football club.
“That’s why we are all delighted we’ve signed him on a permanent contract.”
