O'Leary is Swansea's current longest serving player in his 11th season; he was converted back to a central midfielder in Jackett's first season in 2004, after years of playing in defence where he was quite inconsistent and at times he didn't look comfortable.
Kris was voted player of the year in our promotion season from League 2 in 2004/05 that urged the club to give KOL a two year deal, after apparent interest from other clubs.
Last season was frustrating for Kristian as he only played 22 games in League 1, this was due to injuries and two sendings off, we didn't lose many games when he played and lack his presence at times in midfield last season. O'Leary will be wanting to play more often next season (with our injuries he probably will) in our promotion bid.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
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.
