Monk signs three-year deal

 

Garry Monk has signed a new three-year deal at Swansea City. 

 

Monk had two years left to run on his previous deal, but has signed a contract that will tie him to the club until 2018. 

 

"As a club we are pleased to agree a new contract with Garry," Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins told the club's official website. 

 

"It's deserved reward for a fantastic season we've just had and all Garry's hard work, commitment and loyalty to our football club over many years." 

 

Monk, 36, was equally enthused about the decision to extend his stay at the Liberty Stadium, but insists Swansea need to push on now.

"Last season was fantastic and I learnt a lot to take forward. I believe we have put good foundations in place, but now it's vital we build on that and push forward," Monk said. 

 

Monk guided the Swans to their highest ever Premier League finish of 8th last season, with the 56 points accrued also a record.
