Contract extension for Naughton

Full back Kyle Naughton has put pen to paper on an extended contract at the Liberty Stadium meaning he will remain at the club for a further 12 months.

The player who signed from Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 will take his stay at the club to at least seven years as a result of the deal and now has more than 200 appearances under his belt.

The deal will see him pass his 33rd birthday at the club and he is expected to play a key part in the plans for next season no matter which division the Swans are in.

Steve Cooper confirmed the extension earlier today as he explained “We’re delighted that he’s committed to another year.

“He’s had an excellent season so far, and he has shown great leadership on and off the pitch.

“Kyle has shown his versatility at right-back and right centre-back, and he is a very popular member of the squad. He is highly respected and regarded as a footballer by his team-mates and the staff.”
