Garry Monk has signed a three-year deal to stay on as Swansea's permanent manager.

Monk took over for Michael Laudrup in February and helped them avoid relegation.

"As a board of directors we carefully considered our next step because it was a very important decision for our football club," said chairman Huw Jenkins.

"But having gone through that process we unanimously agreed that the timing was right for Garry to be offered the job on a permanent basis.

"As we look forward to our fourth season in the Premier League we all agreed that we needed to get back to basics and reinforce the principles that have brought us success in recent years.

"Garry represents all the strong values we hold so dearly as a football club and everyone is looking forward to working with him.
