Defensive Additions Due At Swansea
The Swans confirm that they have offered Garry Monk new improved terms
The Swans have offered their captain new terms to take him beyond the automatic one year extension that he triggered with his appearances last season. Monk was outstanding at the heart of defence as his side won promotion to the Championship and he was voted players player of the year as well as being nominated in the PFA League One team of the season.
"We have offered Garry improved terms and we are waiting to hear from him," the Swans chairman told the Evening Post. "We fully expect him to take up the offer.
"We feel that Garry was a major part of our achievement in winning League One, and when you take into account the great season he has had as captain he deserves this deal."
Monk has always expressed his desire to stay at Swansea and there seems nothing to suggest that he won't sign that deal as soon as possible.
Jenkins also hinted at possible future arrivals to the Liberty at the back and added "It was our priority to get another defender in and I would assume that maybe more will come in."

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.

Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
