Swansea defender Naughton signs one-year deal
Kyle Naughton, a veteran defender for Swansea City, and the Championship team have reached an agreement on a new one-year contract.
This summer, Naughton, 35, was supposed to become a free agent.
The seasoned right-back, who is also capable of playing in central defense, has agreed to stay with Swansea till 2025.
Naughton sustained a hamstring injury during the derby victory over Cardiff City in March, which prevented him from playing in the latter stages of the 2023–24 campaign.
Luke Williams, the head coach, has expressed his love for Naughton, who joined Swansea from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2015 and has played more than 300 games for the Welsh team, on many occasions.
Williams is keen to keep some experienced players in his squad as he prepares for a first full season as Swansea boss.
Naughton is the first of six senior players whose contracts expire this summer to agree a new deal.
The futures of Joe Allen, Jamie Paterson, Liam Walsh, Przemyslaw Placheta and Nathaniel Ogbeta are still to be decided.
