Seven offered new Swans contracts

Garry Monk heads a list of seven Swansea players to be offered new deals as Roberto Martinez prepares his squad for life in the Championship.

Monk is one of four experienced players to be offered a one-year extension, while Wales international Owain Tudur-Jones, vice-captain Alan Tate and Wales Under-21 midfielder Shaun MacDonald have all agreed new long-term deals.

Monk, along with Dennis Lawrence, Kevin Austin and Kristian O'Leary, has played enough games this season to trigger a clause in his existing contract to secure a new deal.

Martinez was particularly happy for Tudur-Jones and, with his troublesome knee injury finally healed, the Swans boss expects the 23-year-old to shine next season.

"It was great to see Owain finish the season on such a positive note. It was pleasing for everyone to see him enjoying his football and challenging for a place again after what has been a very difficult time with such a long-term injury," said Martinez.

"He has come through a more mature person and I am convinced it will help him to become a better, stronger player and character on the pitch. We are all delighted he has committed his future to Swansea and I am sure he has a very successful club and country career ahead of him."
