Thomas Butler has become the latest player to sign a long-term deal with League One champions Swansea as they prepare for the Championship.
Alan Tate, Shaun MacDonald and Owain Tudur-Jones all pledged their future to the club earlier this week while seven other players - including Garry Monk and Dennis Lawrence - have been offered new contracts.
Midfielder Butler, who joined from Hartlepool in July 2006, weighed in with six goals this season as the Swans stole a march on the League One title.
"Tom has been a very consistent performer this season," said boss Roberto Martinez. "He's a better and more mature player than when he first arrived.
"He had his best campaign for the club this season and to have someone who can play on the left or right with the same effectiveness is a huge bonus and asset."
