Christie set for extended Swansea City stay

There should be little doubt that Cyrus Christie’s displays since arriving in Swansea will mean that any extended stay in SA1 will not be a surprise.

The defender, who joined on loan in January, has put in a series of superb performances in the right wing back position and capped that with a couple of goals along the way for good measure.

It was always suggested that the move for Christie could lead to a permanent stay at the club and there is little doubt that it is already in the mind of Russell Martin and not just for the experience that Christie brings to a relatively young squad as well.

Martin was asked at his press conference on Thursday if he would like to keep Christie for longer and he respondedย โ€œI am hopeful and would love to get him on a permanent basis.

“He is enjoying his football and has taken to what we are doing and loves it here especially the support he gets from the fans.

โ€œWe are out on a limb geographically but the supporters care so much about the club it means so much to the community, it has a different feel about it to a lot of different clubs and we have to try and use that to our advantage.

“Hopefully with Cyrus it will play into our hands โ€“ he needs to continue what he is doing, showing the young guys how to play and be professional. He has had a difficult time recently and come through it and I love working with him and would like to keep himโ€
