Swansea midfielder Mark Gower has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him at the Liberty Stadium until the summer of 2013.
The 33-year-old joined the Swans as a winger from Southend in 2008, but has been converted into a central midfielder and has impressed at Premier League level after taking his opportunity when Kemy Agustien suffered a hamstring injury. The former Spurs man is delighted to have his future sorted with Brendan Rodgers' team.
Gower told the Swansea club website: "It took a while to get everything agreed, but I am delighted to finally sign the extension."
He added: "It means I can concentrate fully on my football and help to establish Swansea as a Premier League club.
"I'm feeling fit and enjoying my football more than ever.
"The way the manager wants us to play the game means it's a pleasure to be part of this midfield and this club."
Manager Rodgers added: "Mark thoroughly deserves this.
"He is a great professional who is getting the chance in the Premier League when he probably should have been playing at this level many years ago.
"He has made a valuable contribution to our success and I'm delighted for him and his family that he has the new deal."
