Swansea veteran pens new contract
Swansea defender, Alan Tate, has signed a four-year contract extension at the Liberty Stadium which will keep him at the Premier League side until 2015.
The 29 year-old broke his leg in a golf buggy accident last month and is expected to be out of the side for about six months, however it hasn’t affected his contract being extended.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Tate said: “I’m delighted to sign the contract because it shows the club have a lot of faith in me, It will take me well into my 30s and who knows what will happen beyond that, although obviously I would like to stay even longer.”
He added: “We’ve been talking about a contract for a while. The injury delayed things a bit. I was meant to sign before I got injured, but then it got put on the backburner. The club could see it was an unfortunate accident which no-one could have expected.”
